Manager Chris Powell told the club website:, external "Richard's impressed during pre-season and it's good to finally get the deal done.
"He's a left-footed centre-half who gives us options along the backline and we're happy to have him on board."
On Evina, Powell added: "I feel he's a player that will develop with us. I really do.
"He's got all the qualities I want in a left-back and he will push Rhoys [Wiggins].
