We are delighted to announce that Gresford Athletic have today completed the signing of Greg Evans.

This is the ninth signing that Gresford Athletic have made during the 2022/23 summer transfer window.

The midfielder started his career as a youth player at Llay United in 2009 and then signed for Borras Park Albion for the 2012/13 season.

He then moved to 14-time JD Cymru Premier Champions The New Saints in 2013, before signing for Lex XI for the 2014/15 season and then returning to The New Saints until 2016.

The 24-year-old then flew abroad to join Carson-Newman University in Tennessee, USA in ahead of the 2016/17 season.

Alongside his education, Greg went onto become Carson-Newman University captain and also break the record for the most minutes played in Carson-Newman University history in October 2021, making 73 appearances, with 6014 minutes played at the time.

Gresford Athletic First Team Assistant Manager Jonathan Hill-Dunt says that Greg impressed the coaching staff instantly:

"Greg joined us midway through pre-season and impressed us straight away.

He's returning to America to finish his studies shortly, but we look forward to working more with him on his return."

Welcome to Gresford Athletic, Greg!
