Jarrod Evans (born 25 July 1996) is a Welsh rugby union player who plays as a fly-half for Harlequins Rugby. He has also represented Wales and Wales U20s.
Club career
Evans played youth rugby for Pontyclun RFC, and made his debut for Pontypridd RFC at age 17.
Evans made his debut for Cardiff in 2015, having previously played for their academy.
In 2018, Evans won the 2017–18 European Rugby Challenge Cup with Cardiff, scoring 13 points in the final against Gloucester.
On 29 January 2022, Evans kicked a last minute long range penalty against Leinster, propelling Cardiff to their first win over the Irish team since 2011. Evans represented Cardiff a 126 times and scored 765 points across all competitions since his debut in 2015.
In 2023, Evans signed for Harlequins alongside Wales prop and Cardiff compatriot Dillon Lewis. The pair would now be coached by Adam Jones, the club's scrum and transition coach and another former Wales prop and Cardiff player.
On 28 October 2023, Evans kicked a last minute penalty against Bristol in the absence of first choice fly half Marcus Smith. Harlequins won the game 23-21 at Ashton Gate.
International career
In October 2018, Evans was called up to the senior Wales squad for the Autumn internationals.
Evans made his debut for Wales coming off the bench for the final few minutes against Scotland in 2018 for the opening game of their November series.
Having not reached the required 25 caps for Wales, Evans' move to Harlequins has made him ineligible to play for Wales for the foreseeable future. Evans has commented on this since joining Harlequins, stating, I came [to Harlequins] knowing the 25-cap rule was in place. [But] there might be something in the fact that I wasn't offered a contract, so there might be a loophole." He also mentioned, "There's nothing in my contract with Harlequins to say that I can't play for Wales, it's just down to whether they pick me. If it was an option, I'd love to play for Wales again.
