Mansfield Town Sign Midfielder Jack Evans<\/h2>\n

The Deal<\/h3>\n

Mansfield announced via their website<\/a> they had signed the midfielder. Evans arrives on loan for the remainder of the season looking to get some first-team football under his belt.<\/p>\n

After joining the Swans\u2019 academy at the age of eight, Evans made his first appearance for the club\u2019s U23s in December 2015 and signed a new deal at the Liberty Stadium 19 months later. Evans is also a regular international for Wales U23s.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Mansfield website about his new signing, manager Graham Coughlan said<\/a>: \u201cJack is a tidy footballer, from a good footballing background.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will come in and cover the positions which we have lost through the departures of Jacob and Otis. He plays the game the way in which we want to play, and he should be a good fit for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swansea Confirm Evans\u2019 Departure<\/h3>\n

Swansea confirmed via a club statement<\/a> that Evans had left to join Mansfield.<\/p>\n

The statement read \u201cSwansea City midfielder Jack Evans has joined Mansfield Town on loan for the remainder of the season, subject to international clearance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 21-year-old links up with the Stags, with Graham Coughlan\u2019s side sitting 21st in the League Two table.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvans, who recently signed a new contract with the Swans through to the summer of 2021, first joined the club\u2019s academy at the age of eight.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter missing the entire 2018-19 season while he received successful treatment for cancer, the central midfielder returned to captain the club\u2019s under-23s side this term \u2013 making 13 appearances in Premier League 2 Division 2.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe made his first-team debut as a late substitute in the Carabao Cup victory over Cambridge United in August. We wish Jack every success in his spell at Field Mill.\u201d<\/p>\n
