Richard "Dick" Evans (born 26 January 1945) is an English-born former rugby league footballer who played in the 1970s. He played at representative level for Wales, and at club level for Huyton, Barrow, Swinton and Salford, as a hooker.[1][2]
Born in St Helens, Lancashire, Evans started his rugby league career at Huyton. He was signed by Barrow in April 1969.[3]
In December 1970, Evans was signed by Swinton for a fee of £5,000.[4]
Although born in England, Evans was eligible to play for Wales due to his Welsh ancestry.[5] He won caps for Wales while at Swinton in the 1975 Rugby League World Cup against France (2 matches).[1]
