Lee Evans: Portsmouth sign former Ipswich Town midfielder
- Published
Lee Evans has won four Wales caps, the first coming in 2019 against Trinidad & Tobago
Portsmouth have signed former Ipswich midfielder Lee Evans on a contract to the end of the season.
The 29-year-old Wales international was a free agent after leaving Portman Road at the start of February.
League One leaders Pompey have suffered a series of injuries in midfield and Evans will help fill the void.
"He has plenty of Championship pedigree and experience of winning promotion out of this league," boss John Mousinho .
Evans came through the ranks at Newport, helping them earn promotion to the Football League, and has won promotion from League One with Wolves, Wigan and Ipswich.
Mousinho said: "We're delighted. He is a hugely experienced footballer and is comfortable with the ball at his feet, but also a physical presence in the middle of the park."
The Blues are without long-term injured midfielders Alex Robertson and Joe Morrell until the end of the season while Tom Lowery is expected to miss several weeks with a hamstring injury and Chelsea loanee Tino Anjorin is on his way back after four months out through injury.
