After progressing the ranks of Sheffield United Academy and Reserves,[4] Horwood joined Stockport County on a one-month loan on 10 March 2005.[5] He then made his Stockport County debut two days later, on 12 March 2005, in a 2–1 loss against Colchester United.[6] His loan spell at Stockport County was extended until the end of the 2004–05 season in April,[7] making 10 appearances in League One.[8]
After Stockport County's unsuccessful attempt to re–sign Horwood, he joined Scunthorpe United of League One on loan in August 2005.[9] but made no appearances for the club[10] as he only made the substitutes' bench for the opening game of the 2005–06 season against Brentford on 6 August.[11] He made his debut for Sheffield United on 25 October 2005, coming on as a substitute in a League Cup third round tie at Reading.[10][12]
Horwood joined Conference National club York City on a one-month loan in November 2005,[13] making his debut in a 2–0 defeat against Morecambe on 26 November.[14][15] He was recalled by United in January,[16] making five appearances for York during this loan.[14] He joined League Two team Chester City on loan later that month,[17] making his debut in a 5–0 defeat against Carlisle United on 4 February 2006,[10] before returning to Sheffield United in February.[18]

Reflecting on his performance, Manager John Ward said: "Young Evan Horwood has come in and done a great job."[37]
Although he suffered a concussion in the pre–season tour and subsequently recovered,[38] Horwood started the 2008–09 season as he continued to be in the first team regular at Carlisle United.[39] Halfway through the season, Horwood began competing with Darren Campion and Michael Liddle over a left–back position.[40] He then regained his first team place in late–January in the absence of Liddle's international commitment.[41] After suffering a knee injury in February, his return was short–lived when he briefly suffered a neck injury.[42] Despite this, he had a handful of first team appearances until his sending off for second bookable offence, in a 1–1 draw against Cheltenham Town on 25 April 2009.[43] At the 2008–09 season, Horwood made the total of 28 appearances.
In the 2009–10 season, Horwood started out on the substitute bench at the start of the season, as Ian Harte was preferred in the left–back position.[44] But he regained his first team place in the left–back position when Harte began playing in the central defence position.[45][46] His first appearance of the season came on 10 October 2009, where he started and played 82 minutes before being substituted, in a 1–0 loss against Norwich City.[47] After suffering a bruised foot in February 2010, Horwood regained his first team place for the rest of the season since he recovered from a foot injury.[48] He then played a vital role during a 2–2 draw against Southend United when he set up two goals on 20 March 2010.[49] A week later, Horwood started in the left–back position for the Football League Trophy Final, in a 4–1 loss against Southampton.[50] Despite the loss, Horwood then set up a goal for Jason Price, in a 3–1 win over Bristol Rovers on 2 April 2010.[51] At the end of the 2009–10 season, Horwood went on to make the total of 39 appearances.
Although he was keen on signing a new contract, Horwood, however, was released by the club at the end of the 2009–10 season.[52] The club's decision to not renewed his contract divided fans, as they believed he was "one of the best left backs in the division."[53] Horwood, himself, said Manager Greg Abbott overlooked him with Liddle preferred instead in the 2008–09 season and that Abbott doesn't like him as a player.[54]
