"We are delighted that promising left back Evan Towler who attends Portlethen Academy has also committed his future to Aberdeen, and will sign a full-time contract when he leaves school in December. Evan joined the Youth Academy when he was aged 9 from Cove Boys Club."
Neil Simpson, 2nd September 2020

AFC 25/11/2021 - Aberdeen U18 captain Evan Towler has today agreed a deal that will see the highly rated defender remain contracted to the club until 2024.
The Youth Academy graduate left school in the winter of 2020 in order to join the Club full-time. Since then, he has impressed on and off the park with his ability, application and attitude.
The left sided defender, who turns 17 on Christmas eve, is already a decade long veteran of life with the Dons and can now focus on what is needed to take the next step to hopefully becoming a first team player at Pittodrie. Evan said:
"I am so pleased to have signed a new deal that will help take me to the next stage of my career. It is very reassuring to know that I will be at Aberdeen for at least the next few years, and hopefully a lot longer.
"I have trained with the first team a couple of times this season. You have to be ready for the standard. It gives you a taste of it and come away knowing that every part of your game needs to get better - touch, pace, technique, strength. Everything needs to go up a few levels.
"I have enjoyed this season with the U18's but I enjoy every game. We have had a few disappointing results recently after starting the campaign so well, but I am sure we will have a strong second half to the season and we have a big game against St Mirren in the SFA Youth Cup on Friday."

On 1st January it was announced that Evan was joining Elgin City on loan until the end of the season.
On 5th July 2022 Cove Rangers announced that they had signed Evan on loan for the coming season, but on 11th January 2023 he was recalled by the Dons and immediately loaned out to Elgin City.
