HUDDERSFIELD TOWN have reportedly seen a bid turned down from League One rivals Bristol Rovers for key midfielder Antony Evans.

The Liverpool-born player is about to enter the final year of his contract at the Memorial Stadium and Rovers' resolve has been tested following an offer from Town, which has been rejected according to Bristol Live.

Evans, 25, is the reigning player of the year at Rovers after scoring 10 goals and contributing nine assists in 52 games last term - and was widely considered to be the most consistent performer for the club in a mixed 2023-24 campaign from a team perspective.

Town have made one breakthrough so far in the summer window after bringing in Lincoln City right-sided wing-back Lasse Sorensen.

They have seen a bid turned down for Charlton Athletic forward Alfie May, but are maintaining their interest in the player.

A significant departure from the John Smith’s Stadium has seen Jack Rudoni move to ambitious Championship outfit Coventry City.
