Chedwyn Michael "Ched" Evans (born 28 December 1988) is a Welsh footballer who last played for Sheffield United as a striker.

Born in St Asaph, Denbighshire, Evans was an inexperienced youth striker with Manchester City, when he arrived at Norwich City on loan in 2007. He made a major impact during his time at Carrow Road, scoring 10 goals in 28 league appearances, before returning to his parent club. He was subsequently sold to Sheffield United for £3,000,000 in 2009. Evans scored on his debut for Wales in 2008, and has so far scored twice in his 13 appearances.

On 20 April 2012, Evans was convicted of rape and sentenced to five years imprisonment. Evans maintains his innocence and has lodged an appeal.

Born in Rhyl, Denbighshire, Evans began his playing career in Rhyl and was spotted by highly respected football scout John Reardon. Evans spent several years scoring many goals in Chester City's youth set-up before it folded. He scored the winning goal in the Nathan Fennah Memorial game at the Deva Stadium in Chester City's U12s' 1–0 win against Wigan U12s. Evans played and starred for Moss Valley Rovers in many summer tournaments in the North West.
