Goalkeeper Evans makes permanent Barnet switch

Owen Evans moved to Cheltenham last summer from Walsall and featured 11 times in League Two before moving to Barnet

Barnet have signed goalkeeper Owen Evans on a permanent deal after his release by Cheltenham Town.

The 28-year-old joined the Bees on loan from Cheltenham in January and conceded just seven goals in 18 games as he helped the club win the National League.

The Welshman has played for 10 clubs in his career including spells at Walsall, Macclesfield Town and Wigan Athletic.

"The last four months of the season couldn't have gone any better, so to come back and it properly in the league now – it's really good," he said.

"I think we have the ability and the team cohesion to do really well in this league.

"I think we can really push, I think we'll surprise a lot of teams, and that's my ambition – to continue the upward trajectory of this club."
