Nick Evans height - How tall is Nick Evans?

In April 2017, Evans announced his retirement from rugby after the 2016–17 Premiership season with Harlequins. His last home game for Quins was against Wasps on 28 April 2017.

He started for Harlequins in their 2011–12 Premiership final victory over Leicester Tigers and scored six penalties and one conversion.

Since joining the Harlequins, Evans has been a chief architect of on-field success of the club. He was instrumental in the Harlequins back-to-back defeats of Stade Français in the Heineken Cup and helped salvage a draw for his side in their Boxing Day clash with the Leicester Tigers in the Guinness Premiership. During the 2010–11 season Evans has continued his on field success at Harlequins with his most notable performance coming in the European Challenge Cup, putting a man of the match effort against London Wasps in the quarter finals and kicking the winning conversion in the final against Stade Francais. Evans signed a new contract with Harlequins to see him with the club until 2013.

Evans was overlooked for New Zealand's 2008 Tri Nations series. After signing with English Premiership side Harlequin FC, he has become ineligible to play for his national side due to the NZRU's policy of only selecting players within New Zealand to play for the All Blacks side.

Although he has grown since, he was at the time considered short for professional Aussie Rules at 176 cm. He later decided to commit to rugby union and played for the Highlanders in the Super 14 and for Otago in the National Provincial Championship. However, on 25 May 2007 Evans announced he would not be re-signing with the Otago Rugby Football Union and would either sign for a Union closer to his family on the North Shore, or become one of many New Zealand rugby players heading overseas if he did not make the All Blacks World Cup squad. He decided to move closer to his family.

After impressing in both provincial and Super rugby, he made his All Blacks debut aged 23 against England in 2004. In his last game against Wales when he came on as a replacement for Carter, he broke the line with his first touch (off first phase, a very rare occurrence at international level) to set up Sitiveni Sivivatu for an easy try underneath the posts. Evans was selected in the 30 man New Zealand Squad at the 2007 Rugby World Cup. He started at first five-eighth against Portugal in a game which New Zealand won 108–13, and in the process accumulated 33 points via 14 conversions and a try. He played in the game against Scotland, having been summoned from the bench to play at fullback and looked very handy. He was rewarded with a further start at fullback against Romania and scored 17 points through a try and six conversions.

Nicholas John Evans (born 14 August 1980 in Auckland, New Zealand) is a former New Zealand rugby union footballer. He played at fly-half and fullback. He joined Harlequins for the 2008–09 Guinness Premiership season, and remained with the club until his retirement on a deal reportedly worth £320,000 a year. He retired at the end of the 2016-17 season and is now a coach for Quins.
