The England youth international went on to make three further appearances during the 24/25 Premier League season in fixtures against Southampton, Ipswich Town and Bournemouth and has continued to be a standout performer for our Development Squad since.
This season, Evans has recorded three goals in five Premier League 2 appearances and also carried that form into the Premier League Cup on Friday night with another two goals at home to Charlton Athletic.
Jake is now a regular face around the First Team environment, alongside his contributions to our Academy teams. His first professional contract marks another proud milestone for both Jake and the Club’s Academy as he continues his journey in Leicester City colours.
