Evan started judo at the age of 13 and it quickly became an obsession. He spent the subsequent years travelling the country going to all the competitions he could with his first memorable win coming at the West of England Open in a non-parasport event.

After attending a Paralympic Potential Day just 1-year after starting the sport he was added to the Para-Potential programme for judo. Evan later joined the British Judo National Training Centre, training alongside the likes of Chris Skelley and Jack Hodgson, athletes he had idolised following their appearance at the Rio 2016. Evan now lives and trains with Chris.

Evan was a training partner for the Tokyo Games, missing out on selection in the -81kg category to Dan Powell.

Evan has finished 5th at the World Games in Birmingham in 2023 after taking bronze at the European Championships.

Evan was born with ocular albinism and was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of four.

With the help of judo and the Epilepsy Society, Evan has been seizure free for four years having previously suffered from up to 40 seizures per week in his teenage years.
