Notts County have completed the signing of midfielder Evans from Harrogate Town, adding depth to their midfield ahead of the 2026-27 League Two campaign. The club confirmed the move on Friday, bringing in the experienced midfielder to strengthen their push for promotion after finishing 5th last season with 80 points (24W-8D-14L).
Who is Evans?
Evans, a key player for Harrogate Town, brings a wealth of League Two experience to Meadow Lane. Known for his tenacious midfield play and ability to break up opposition attacks, he is expected to provide a solid defensive shield for Notts County's creative players. His arrival follows a strong end to the 2025 season, where Notts County went unbeaten in their last five games (3W-2D-0L), including a 3-0 win over Salford City on May 25, 2026.
Why this signing matters for Notts County
With the club finishing just 7 points behind leaders Bromley last season, manager Luke Williams will be looking to close that gap. Evans' addition is part of a strategic move to reinforce the midfield, an area that was crucial in their late-season surge. The team's recent form (WDWDW) and a +22 goal difference (74 scored, 52 conceded) highlight their attacking prowess, but Evans' defensive contributions could be key in tightening their backline.
What comes next for Notts County?
As the new season approaches, Notts County will be aiming to build on their momentum. With Evans now part of the squad, fans will be eager to see how he integrates into the team's dynamic. The club's focus will be on maintaining their strong form and challenging for the top spots in League Two.
