Jonny Evans, now 35, spent last season with now Championship outfit, Leicester City. The centre-back played 13 Premier League matches in a campaign that was marred by fitness issues.
Evans was then released on a free after his latest Foxes contract ran out at the end of June.
Evans joined Leicester in 2018 from West Ham and played 152 games, helping win the FA Cup in the process.
The stopper, however, began his career all the way back in 2006 with Manchester United. Evans made 198 appearances for the Red Devils’ senior side, including 23 in the 2012/13 campaign when Man United won their last Premier League title.
