The JD Cymru South club confirmed the heartbreaking news, saying they were “devastated” by his passing and struggling to find the words to express their grief. He played for the club as recently as Friday night, in Afan Lido's game with Pontypridd United.
“With the heaviest of hearts everyone at Afan Lido FC is devastated to learn of the tragic passing of Ioan Evans,” a club statement read. “We don’t have the words to adequately express our grief at this time. Ioan loved being a Lido player, a committed club man, and he was immensely popular with everybody. He had time for everyone and a few words with Ioan were guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
