CHED EVANS ended his four-year football exile by making a goalscoring return for new club Chesterfield.
Evans scored one and made another in their pre-season friendly win at non-league Ilkeston at the New Manor Ground yesterday.
The Welshman — who signed a one-year deal with the Spireites last month — played for an hour as he resumed his career at the League One club.
It was the striker’s first professional appearance since 2012, having spent two-and-a-half years in jail.
Evans, 27, won an appeal for his conviction for rape in April.
His retrial will be on October 4.
