Evans in return to football with Oldham
League One club set to announce deal with convicted rapist

Oldham are rumoured to be holding a press conference today to announce the signing of unrepentant rapist Ched Evans.

The convicted rapist has been turned down by Sheffield United, Tranmere and Hartlepool since his release from prison back in October.

Oldham initially turned down the chance to sign him but it seems they have made a U-turn and the Welsh striker is set to return to the lavish lifestyle of a footballer in League One.
