Northern Irish Footballer Jonathan Grant Evans Makes History
Newport County to Rotherham United
Jonathan Grant Evans MBE, born January 3, 1988, is a Northern Irish professional footballer who plays as a center back. Evans has recently made headlines for his impressive performances on the field and his significant milestones.
Newport County Success
Evans joined Newport County in August 2022 and quickly established himself as a key player for the club. On August 24, 2022, he scored his first goal for Newport in their 3-2 EFL Cup second-round win against Portsmouth.
Rotherham United Appointment
Despite Newport County's mixed start to the season, Evans' performances have not gone unnoticed. On January 28, 2024, Rotherham United announced the signing of Evans for an undisclosed fee. The move marks a significant step up for the Northern Irishman, who will now play in the EFL Championship.
Steve Evans Returns to Rotherham United
In a separate development, Rotherham United also announced the appointment of Steve Evans as the club's new first-team manager. Evans, who previously managed Rotherham from 2012 to 2016, replaces Leam Richardson, who was sacked after a run of poor results.
