The 23-year-old signed a two-year deal with Newport County in July after a successful trial.
However, he owes a debt of gratitude to business and employment-focused social media platform LinkedIn which allowed him to contact the League Two club’s chairman directly.
“I haven’t got an agent, the trial came about through LinkedIn. I got in touch with the chairman Huw Jenkins myself and he responded,” Evans told BBC Sport Wales. “I was happy just to get a response if I’m honest.
“He obviously knew me from my days at Swansea, he looked over my profile and invited me down for a trial, I was chuffed. I’d been told about LinkedIn and that it could be a good chance to get your profile out there, as clubs can use it to look at you, so I always kept my profile updated.
