BEN EVANS turned down opportunities elsewhere to pen a new one-year deal with North Wales Crusaders, head coach Carl Forster has revealed.
A former Super League player with Bradford and Warrington, Evans moved to Colwyn Bay last year from Barrow and made 17 appearances.
Forster said: “I’m delighted Ben has decided to stay for another year.
“He’s had offers elsewhere which is a testament to the player he is and the quality he possesses, so it’s brilliant for the club that he’s agreed a new deal here.”
