Career
Evers played international rugby for the British Isles on their 1899 tour of Australia
On returning from his rugby tour of Australia, Evers took up work in Amblecote with East.J. & J. Pearson Limited., a fireclay mines and works business. In 1902 he was made a director of the company, and remained with the company for his entire working life. In 1926 Evers applied for a British patent, on behalf of the company, for an improved kiln.
Evers played club rugby mainly for Moseley, but he was also selected for a Rest of South team to face London and the Universities.
In 1899, Evers was invited to join Matthew Mullineux"s British Isles team to tour Australia. Evers missed the First Test against Australia, which the tourists lost 13-3.
After the defeat, Mullineux dropped himself from the Test team, and brought five new players in for the Second Test at Brisbane, Evers being one of them. After the British Isles beat the Australians in the Second Test, Evers found himself chosen for the final two Tests, both resulting in wins for the tourists.
On returning to Britain, Evers returned to club rugby at Moseley, and in 1902 he was invited to join invitational team the Barbarians.
Although representing Britain, Evers was never selected to represent his home nation of England.
