Daniel "Danny" Ward (born 22 June 1993) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Football League Championship side Huddersfield Town, on loan from Liverpool, and the Wales national team. Ward has also previously played for Wrexham as well as having loan spells at Tamworth, Morecambe and Aberdeen.
Ward was born in Wrexham. He is a product of the Wrexham Academy, signing for them as a 14-year-old in 2007. In the 2010–11 season, Ward was briefly loaned out to Conference Premier rivals Tamworth, making just one appearance in a league match on 12 March 2011 in a 3–2 loss against Hayes & Yeading United. He returned to Wrexham for the upcoming 2011–12 season and was promoted to the first team squad but only made it as far as the bench on a handful of occasions.
On 30 January 2012, it was announced that Liverpool had signed Ward for a fee of around £100,000. He was quickly promoted to the Reserve team and featured in the 2011–12 NextGen Series where he played in a 6–0 loss to Ajax in the semi-finals.
Ward got his first call-up to the Liverpool senior squad in a League Cup game against Swansea City on 31 October 2012 as an unused substitute. His next senior call up wasn't until 12 January 2014 for a Premier League game against Stoke City where Ward was deputising for the injured Brad Jones.
