Harry Evans’ form for Derby County Under-21s throughout January has been rewarded with a nomination for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award.

The 20-year-old goalkeeper played every minute as Jake Buxton’s side started 2025 with an unbeaten month in the division.

Evans was between the sticks as Tottenham Hotspur were beaten 2-1 at Moor Farm, before he kept back-to-back clean sheets in a 1-0 win at Reading and a goalless draw with Blackburn Rovers.

It’s a run of form which has seen the Under-21s rise up to 15th in the 26-team Premier League 2 table.
