Kane Evans Nrl: 100 Days Sober After Homelessness

kane evans nrl has resurfaced with a stark personal update: the former Warriors prop said he was homeless, struggling with addiction and is now 100 days sober. He said he was once sleeping in parks and had been hoping to pass away before getting help.

Evans, 34, tied the post to a series of outdoor photos and wrote: "What a way to be humbled and feel grateful by waking up early, walking to go visit where I was not so long ago," He added: "Four months ago I slept in these parks and moved in the shadows."

He was more direct about the low point. "Tired of fighting the war within, I was hoping to pass away before getting the help I needed," Evans wrote. He then said: "I thank God that I got there with help from many."

Kane Evans and the NRL path

Evans made his NRL debut in 2014 and played 131 games across the Roosters, Eels and Warriors. He also had 13 international appearances for Fiji, while his club career included 14 games for the Warriors.

The timeline around his exit from top-flight rugby league helps explain why the update landed so hard. The Warriors released him from his contract in 2021 so he could sign with Hull FC, and he later returned to Sydney to play lower-grade league. A separate post from three weeks ago appeared to show him signing a contract with World Bare Knuckle Fighting.

Israel Folau and Alex Glenn

Evans’ post quickly drew replies from two former players. Israel Folau wrote: "keep going bro" Alex Glenn responded: "Damn my brother, that’s strength... to acknowledge the struggles but also to bounce back and show gratitude... huge... proud of you,"

For a player who once built a career across the Roosters, Eels and Warriors, the public admission changes the frame around his post-retirement life. The most immediate detail now is the one Evans put at the end of his caption: "To all those who housed me, looked out for me and prayed for me. Thank you. I love you... 100 days sober."
