# Elva sign New York striker Kevon Gresford Evans
Esiliiga side FC Elva have announced the signing of striker Kevon Gresford Evans ahead of the new season.

The 22-year-old, from Ossining in New York, arrives after playing university football in the United States. Speaking in a post shared by the club, Evans said his football journey started at the age of eight after being introduced to the game by his father.

“_I started playing in my local town’s league and then joined clubs outside the city. I have represented my university at all levels_,” he said. Evans added that a standout moment of his career was becoming his university’s all-time top scorer.

Evans could make his first appearance for Elva on 28 February in the club’s final pre-season friendly, against Valmiera FC, who won Latvia’s Virslīga in 2022 and have now been promoted to the second tier, following relegation due to financial issues last year.
