TEENAGER Jake Evans admits that a loan move away from the club is not on his radar this transfer window as he looks to fight for a regular spot in the Swindon Town team.

The 18-year-old featured for Swindon Town’s development side on Tuesday in the 2-1 defeat to Bristol Rovers.

Evans, who signed a professional deal with the club last April, has made just three appearances under Luke Williams this term, two of those coming from the substitutes bench.

However, at this stage, he has not got his eye on a temporary move to get more game time and instead wants to stay and influence Williams and director of football Tim Sherwood.

“At the moment, I’m just waiting for a chance and trying to impress the boss and hopefully, if everything goes well, I can start playing regularly for Swindon,” said the self-confessed Town fan.

“(A loan move) maybe something to consider but at the moment I’m just trying to focus on training hard, getting in the team, supporting the players and hopefully we can have a big push for the final end of the season.

“I’m still only 18 and we have got a young squad. When I have played for the first-team, I feel like I have done well.

“(Tim) is at training most days so I am very keen to impress him and try and get in the team and show him what I can do.

“It’s a big squad, with a lot of good, young players, so it is tough but I am just waiting for my chance.”

On Tuesday, Evans was asked to play at right-back in a flat four defence, the same role he was asked to play in his only start this season to date, the 3-2 defeat to Luton Town in the Checkatrade Trophy.

Despite being played out of position, Evans is not overly concerned if it provides him with a quicker passage to the first team.

“I’m happy to play anywhere,” he added.

“Especially if I was playing week-in-week-out at the County Ground, if it was at right-back I would be more than happy.

“I am naturally midfielder but I think people have seen that I am quite comfortable at right-back or left-back even.

“Throughout my development, I have played in a lot of positions at the academy, so it’s not too unfamiliar to me.

“You learn different things throughout the game, you learn how other people are thinking. When you’re in midfield, I’ll know how the right-back is playing because I have played there before.

“I am playing at the highest level I ever have done and playing right-back, the players help me a lot.

“I can’t get too excited when I do something good and I can’t be too down on myself when I do something wrong, it’s just about keeping my feet on the ground.”
