Footballer Evans 'determined to clear name' of rape

British footballer Ched Evans, who was convicted of raping a woman in a hotel room, has said he is “determined to continue the fight” to clear his name and return to playing.

In a video interview posted on his website following his release from prison last Friday, having served half of a five-year jail term, the former Sheffield United striker said his lawyers had already taken steps to overturn the conviction.
