EVANS DOESN’T MISS BEING IN WOLVES PACK

-

LEE EVANS is not upset at missing out on Wolves’ promotion charge.

But Evans (above, with Clayton Donaldson) still feels the pain of being rejected as a 15-year-old by Bristol Rovers. And when the midfielder returns to Molineux with his new Sheffield United side, he will be mulling over what might have been – with the Pirates.

Evans, 23, who joined the Blades for £850,000 from the Championsh­ip leaders last month, said:”It’s exciting times at Wolves with multi-million pound signings and the team racing away at the top. Not being a part of all that doesn’t bother me – it’s being released by Rovers as a kid that remains my biggest disappoint­ment in football.

“To be told at that age I’d never make it was a real kick in the teeth. But I was determined to prove Bristol wrong.”
