Career

Ward signed with the Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Academy in 2011. During his time at Spurs, he also appeared for their Reserves.[3]
Loan Spells
On 22 March 2014 Ward signed on loan with Major League Soccer club Chicago Fire.[4] Ward's debut was delayed due to his injury on metatarsal that kept him out for months[5] It took until 25 May 2014, where he came on as a substitute for Dilly Duka in the 61st minutes, as Chicago Fire beat Columbus Crew 2–0.[6] Ward's loan spell with Chicago Fire was extended until the end of the season.[7] Ward scored his first Chicago Fire goal on 24 July 2014, in a 5–1 loss against San Jose Earthquakes.[8] On the last game of the season, Ward then provided two assists, in a 2–1 win over Houston Dynamo.[9] Following the end of the 2014 season, the club allowed Ward to make his return to his parent club.[10]
On 11 March 2015 Ward began training with League One side Coventry City and it was announced two days later on 13 March 2015 that he had joined them on loan from parent club Tottenham Hotspur F.C until the end of the season. He has since been given the number 8 shirt.[11] Ward made his Coventry City debut three days later against Chesterfield, where he assisted Sanmi Odelusi, as his shot was deflected to Odelusi's goal.[12] The match ended with Coventry City winning 3–2.[13] Ward went on to make eleven appearance for the club, as he's unlikely return to Coventry City on loan for the second time next season.[14] It came after Manager Tony Mowbray was keen to sign Ward again on loan.[15]
At the start of the 2015–16 season, Ward started training with Championship side Rotherham United.[16] Six days later after training, Ward joined Rotherham United on a six-month loan deal on 13 July 2015.[17] Upon joining the club, Ward was given number seventeen shirt ahead of the new season.[18] Ward made his Rotherham United debut, in the opening game of the season, as they lost 4–1 against Milton Keynes Dons.[19] He scored his first goal for the club against Burnley in a 2–1 loss on 2 October 2015.[20] In the January Transfer window of the 2015/16 Championship season Ward's loan from Tottenham Hotspur was extended from his initial youth loan to a senior loan to cover for injuries in the squad by then Rotherham United manager Neil Redfearn. A few months later on 12 March 2016 Ward assisted his namesake Danny Ward in scoring the first goal for Rotherham in an amazing comeback in the 3-3 draw against Derby County.
