Club Career
Jonny Evans has played many matches for different clubs and has proved himself invaluable to them. At 9, he was invited to attend the Manchester United Centre of Excellence in Belfast. However, before he was asked for a trial at Manchester United, a rule change within The Football Association limited clubs to recruiting players who lived within 90 minutes’ travel of the club, restricting Evans’ opportunities. Despite this, he trained full-time with Manchester United and progressed through the club’s academy.
Evans spent the first half of the 2006-07 season on loan at Manchester United’s Belgian feeder club, Royal Antwerp. In December 2006, he joined Sunderland on loan for the January transfer window until the end of the 2006-07 season, helping his team secure the Championship title. His outstanding performance earned him the club’s Youth Player of the Year award at the end of the season and a place in the first team.
On 29 August 2015, he joined Premier League club West Bromwich Albion for an undisclosed fee. He debuted for the club on 12 September 2015 in a 0-0 draw against Southampton and scored his first goal in a 2-1 victory over Stoke City. His exceptional play earned him the Player of the Season award before the season’s final game, a significant honor in his first season with the club.
In June 2018, he signed a three-year contract with Leicester City. On 18 August 2018, he made his debut for Leicester City in a 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers and scored his first goal for the club in a 4-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on 23 February 2019.

Jonny Evans happily married Helen in June 2013. The couple has been together since then, leading a joyful life with their three children. Their oldest child, Lottie, is nine years old, followed by Heidi, 6, and their youngest, Eli, 3.
