A right-arm fast-medium bowler, Evans' best first-class bowling figures were 8 for 42, when he and Ossie Wheatley bowled unchanged to dismiss Somerset for 87 in July 1961.[2] Injury forced him to retire from first-class cricket in 1964, but he was able to take up a position as a professional cricketer in Grimsby.[3] In the Minor Counties Championship he and his opening partner Norman McVicker each took 71 wickets when Lincolnshire won the championship for the first time in 1966.[4]
