In May 2013, Evans was released by Burnley due to the expiry of his contract.[7]
In June 2013, he joined Scottish Premiership side Inverness Caledonian Thistle on a free transfer.[7] His professional debut for the club came in January 2014, in a 1–0 away win at Aberdeen, where he replaced Billy McKay as a substitute.[8]

Evans was released by Inverness at the end of the 2013–14 season.[10]
