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, against whom he played a full 90 minutes. Evans' first goal for Crewe Alexandra came on November 23 against local rivals Port Vale. On 30 January 2015, he joined Scunthorpe United on loan until the end of the season.
