Tom Owen-Evans who has just signed for Hereford FC, spent four seasons with Newport County before moving to Falkirk last June. His time in Scotland came to an end on Wednesday.

Born in Bristol Owen-Evans was involved with Newport first time from 2014 until the end of last season when he was told that 'he was deemed surplus to requirements'.

He made his first team debut in April 2015 when 18 as a substitute in a game against York City. A month later he signed his first senior contract with the club.

He went on to make 52 appearances for County and also went out on loan to Gloucester in 2016 and Truro earlier this year.

His move to Falkirk for an undisclosed fee came 'out of the blue.

“I was looking away from Newport after they said I wasn’t going to be around it this year," Owen-Evans told the South Wales Argus last June.

“There were a few Conference South teams lurking around for me but nothing special.
“My agent asked what I thought of Falkirk and I said straight away ‘I like the sound of that’.

“For me it’s a new opportunity, I’ve just turned 21 and I’ve never lived away from home so it’s exciting and I can’t wait to get started.” 

Owen-Evans made seven appearances for Falkirk but was released last Wednesday.

He posted on Twitter: “Disappointed that my time at Falkirk has come to an end.
  
"Unfortunately it didn’t work out for me but I guess that’s football."
