Evan Marley Khouri (born 21 January 2003) is an English footballer who most recently played as a midfielder for EFL League Two club Grimsby Town but is currently without a club after the expiry of his contract.

Career

Having previously been at the academy of West Ham United, Khouri joined Grimsby Town on a two-year scholarship in summer 2019.[4] He made his debut for the club as a second-half substitute in Grimsby's 1–1 draw against Morecambe in the EFL Cup on 5 September 2020, in which Grimsby lost 4–3 on penalties.[5] He made his league debut for the club on 17 April 2021, starting in a 2–1 victory over Bolton Wanderers.[6] He was offered a professional contract with Grimsby Town in April 2021.[7]

Grimsby secured promotion with victory in the play-off final, though Khouri was not in the matchday squad at London Stadium.[8] On 22 June 2022, Grimsby announced Khouri has signed a new two-year contract ahead of their 2022–23 EFL League Two campaign.[9] Khorui was part of the Grimsby team that reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 1939. He came on as a substitute in the 2–1 win away at Premier League side Southampton that secured that achievement.[10][11]

On 31 January 2024, Khouri joined Spennymoor Town on a one-month loan deal.

On 3 June 2026, it was announced that Khouri would be leaving the club on the expiry of his contract after failing to agree on a new deal.[12]

Style of play

Khouri plays primarily as a central midfielder, but can also play as a wide midfielder or as an attacking midfielder. He is left-footed.[13]
