Evans joined Cardiff RFC in 1984. He made his international début in 1989 against France. He played in all four of Wales' matches during the 1990 Five Nations Championship. Evans was named as part of the 1991 Rugby World Cup squad, and played in one game during the tournament, as a replacement fly half against Australia.
In 1992, Evans left Cardiff after playing 117 games for the club and joined Treorchy RFC. The move seemingly ended his international career, but he was named in Wales' 1995 Rugby World Cup squad, and played one final game for the national team during the tournament, against Japan. Evans played 93 games for Treorchy, his last game in 1999.
