Paul Evans

Paul Anthony Evans (born 28 December 1973) is a South African retired professional footballer.

Career Son of Welsh parents, Evans started his career at his homeland with Wits University at the age of 18. After 140 league appearances for the South African club, he joined Leeds United on 1 August 1995, for £50,000.

Mainly a backup for John Lukic, Mark Beeney and Nigel Martyn, Evans made no appearances for Leeds United before being released at the end of the 1996–97 season. During his tenure at Elland Road, he had short-term loans to Crystal Palace and Bradford City, also without any playing time.

Evans then returned to South Africa and played for Supersport United, Mamelodi Sundowns and Jomo Cosmos before returning to English football in 2002, after joining Huddersfield Town in March. Although South Africa did not send their first team players, both matches were counted as full internationals.
