Sheff Utd take controversial step in allowing Evans to train

Sheffield United will allow convicted rapist Ched Evans to train with them following their former player's release from prison, the BBC is reporting. The 25-year-old was freed last month after serving half of a five-year sentence for raping a 19 year-old woman in a hotel room in 2011.

There has been controversy over whether he should resume his football career.

The League One club continues to deliberate on any long-term decision about the Wales international.
