Forest Green Rovers have signed versatile defender Jack Evans from Championship side Blackburn.

Evans, who can play left-back as well as further forward in midfield, played 54 games at under-18 and under-23 level for the Ewood Park side.

The 19-year-old was unable to make a first-team breakthrough, but did play on loan at non-league Lancaster City.

"The standards, the ethos, the way they play - I couldn't be happier to sign," Evans said.

"I'm excited by the challenge of coming into a new environment and having to prove my worth."

The terms of his deal with Forest Green have not been disclosed.
