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. 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. He made his league debut for the club on 17 April 2021, starting in a 2–1 victory over Bolton Wanderers. He was offered a professional contract with Grimsby Town in April 2021.

Grimsby secured promotion with victory in the play-off final, though Khouri was not in the matchday squad at London Stadium. On 22 June 2022, Grimsby announced Khouri has signed a new two-year contract ahead of their 2022–23 EFL League Two campaign. 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.

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

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.

In August 2026, Khouri joined Championship club Lincoln City on trial following his departure from Grimsby Town. He started in midfield as one of six trialists in a 1–0 pre-season victory away to Doncaster Rovers on 1 August. The trial did not result in Khouri being offered a contract by Lincoln.

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.
