Perspective
Bevans started a two-year scholarship at Watford in the summer of 2010. In September 2011 he suffered a knee injury against Southampton's Academy which was anticipated to rule him out for the rest of the season.[2] in April 2012.[3]
On 16 November 2012, Bevans joined Chesham United of the Southern Football League Premier Division on loan for thirty days.[4] This was subsequently lengthened to the end of January, and his contract at Watford was extended until the end of the 2012–13 season.[5]
Bevans was released by Watford in June 2013. He subsequently joined League Two side Oxford United for the 2013–14 season.[6][7] Bevans made his professional debut on 5 December 2013 in a 1–0 FA Cup win over Gateshead.[8] His league debut followed on 28 January 2014, when he came on as a half-time substitute at Exeter City,[9] and his first league start and first home appearance was in a 2–1 victory over AFC Wimbledon on 1 February 2014.[10] In total Bevans played 22 times for Oxford in 2013-14 and the end of the season the club activated a clause in his contract to extend it for another year.[11]
On 29 August 2014, Bevans was loaned to Conference South side Farnborough for a month, with the deal later extended by a further two months in late September.[12][13] However, while playing for Farnborough Bevans suffered a knee injury and after undergoing surgery in October, it was announced that he would be out for six to nine months.[14] Bevans made his return to Oxford United's development squad in a 0–0 draw against Northampton Town's reserves on 20 April 2015.[15]
At the end of the 2014–15 season, Oxford announced that Bevans would not be offered a new contract at the club.[16] In August National League South side Wealdstone announced they had signed Bevans for the 2015–16 season.[17] In December he moved to another NL South side, Oxford City.[18]
By October 2018 Bevans had returned to Chesham, leaving that month for another spell at Farnborough.[19] In March 2019 he suffered an torn [[anterior cruciate ligament and Farnborough opened a fund for his treatment.[20]
