Evans scores on return after jail termLONDON: Former Wales striker Ched Evans, who spent two years in prison only to have his rape conviction quashed, scored on his return to football on Saturday (Sunday in Manila). Evans scored for third-tier English league club Chesterfield in a 3-0 pre-season friendly win at nearby seventh-tier side Ilkeston. In the 2011-2012 season Evans — capped 13 times for Wales — scored 35 goals in all competitions for Sheffield United, then in the third-tier League One. His last match was for Sheffield United in April 2012. Evans was jailed and sentenced for five years in 2012, being released in 2014, for raping a 19-year-old woman.
