Leicester City, where Ward played for the past few years, will face Wrexham in the Championship next season. Although Ward made 52 appearances for the Foxes, he is no longer considered a key player. This decision was made to prepare the team for the upcoming season, where they will play Wrexham at least twice.

Wrexham's owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have been working to improve the team. They aim to achieve a fourth consecutive promotion and reach the top flight. So far, they have signed striker Ryan Hardie from Plymouth Argyle for £700,000. Now, they are looking to add Ward to their team.

Ward will likely become Wrexham's second-choice goalkeeper, behind Arthur Okonkwo. The club has made some significant changes to prepare for the Championship. They have sent players like Paul Mullin on loan to Wigan, released Steven Fletcher, and signed Will Boyle to Shrewsbury.

Manager Phil Parkinson is building a team that can compete in the Championship. With the signing of Ward and other players, Wrexham is taking steps towards achieving their goal of promotion.
