Richard Evans (born 12 April 1968) is a Welsh former professional footballer. He is the current Head of Performance at Everton Football Club.[4] He has previously played for several football clubs including Cardiff City, Exeter City F.C. and Bristol Rovers F.C.

After retiring from playing professional football he studied towards a Sports science BSc (Hons) at Loughborough University (1997-1999) and later a Physiotherapy BSc Hons at Brunel University (2002-2006).[5]

Speaking to the BBC Wales, he said: "I pursued a career in football after leaving school. When I got to the age of 27 and had played professional and semi-professional football I realised that football wasn't going to provide me with a living after I'd finished my days really.

"So whilst I was playing at Lilleshall I did a treatment and management of injuries course held by the FA, and that's what instilled an interest in physiotherapy."[6]

Prior to his appointment at Everton, he has held the position of Head Physiotherapist at Swansea City A.F.C. (1999-2009) and also Head of Sport Science at Wigan Athletic F.C. (2009-2013).
