EX-YEOVIL TOWN GOALKEEPER who joined AFC Totton in early-October 2024 following his departure from Gosport Borough.
Having been on the books of Portsmouth as a youngster, the Southampton-born Max, who grew up in Sholing and played a season for Totton & Eling at Under-14 level, spent several years in Oxford United’s youth academy before joining Yeovil Town.
He went on loan to Frome Town in the 2020/21 season, before returning to Yeovil and keeping a clean sheet on his National League debut in a 1-0 win against Altrincham in May 2021, which he regards as the highlight of his football career to date. He remained within The Glovers’ set-up the following year, before playing for Larkhall Athletic, Bedford Town and Hungerford Town on loan throughout the course of 2022/23.
He had short stays with Bideford and Frome early in the 2023/24 campaign, before settling at Poole Town under the management of Matt Tubbs, going on to make 25 appearances for The Dolphins in league and cup. Although he initially retained the No.1 jersey following the replacement of Tubbs in the Tatnam Ground hot seat by, first, caretaker manager James Ellis and then by the next permanent boss, Steve Tully, an ankle injury sustained during a friendly with Shaftesbury put him out of the team and he was subsequently unable to reclaim his place
Max moved on to Gosport Borough for the start of the 2024/25 season and played six times for the Privett Park club, keeping three clean sheets. But when Gosport brought in the highly-rated ‘keeper Ryan Gosney on a season-long loan from Salisbury in September, Evans was left surplus to requirements, and left the club by mutual consent.
He made his debut for the U23s in their 7-1 win at Weymouth’s Bob Lucas Stadium on Wednesday 25 September, and then kept a clean sheet on his first team bow in the 2-0 Isuzu FA Trophy win at Lewes on Saturday 16 November 2025.
