George Evans (born 13 December 1994) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder or centre-back for Reading.

Career

Evans joined Manchester City at the age of six.[1] After several seasons in Manchester City's academy, Evans first came to prominence with several appearances on the bench for City during the 2012–13 season, although he was ultimately not given a debut for the senior team. In the following season, Evans began playing for the Elite Development Squad before being loaned to Crewe Alexandra at the end of October.[2] Within a week he was given his first senior cap, being named in the starting line-up for Crewe's home league game against Bradford City,[3] against whom he played a full 90 minutes. Evans' first goal for Crewe Alexandra came on 23 November against local rivals Port Vale.[4]

On 30 January 2015, he joined Scunthorpe United on loan until the end of the season.[5] Evans made 16 appearances during his loan spell, scoring once. On 22 September 2015, Evans made his First Team debut for Manchester City when he came on as a substitute during a 4-1 win against Sunderland in the League Cup.[6] In doing so, he became the second Manchester City player to represent the club at all levels from under-8s right through to the senior team, after Chris Chantler.

On 20 October 2015, Evans joined Football League One club Walsall on a one-month loan deal. He made his Walsall debut on the same day against Barnsley and scored the opening goal in a 0–2 away win.[7] On 24 November 2015, after "playing week in, week out", he extended his loan at Walsall until 9 January 2016[8] and was then extended again until 26 January 2016, the maximum allowed time for an emergency loan deal.[9] On 16 January 2016 he was recalled by parent club Manchester City as an offer had been made for a permanent move away from the club.

On 19 January 2016, Evans joined Championship side Reading on a three-and-a-half-year deal until 2019.[10]
