Forest Green Rovers today confirms the signing of Jack Evans from Blackburn Rovers.

At 19 years old, he is a versatile player who can operate as either a left back or midfielder, spending time on loan at Lancaster City earlier this year.

On the move, Jack said: “I was really excited when I first heard about the prospect of coming to the club. The standards, the ethos, the way they play - I couldn’t be happier to sign. I’m excited by the challenge of coming into a new environment and having to prove my worth. When given my chance, I’ll make sure I take It and show everyone what I’m capable of.”

Forest Green’s Director of Football, Richard Hughes, showed his pleasure at the deal, saying: “We’ve been following his career with interest at Blackburn and are pleased to get this deal done. He’s a talented player and we hope he develops at FGR.”
