Career
Ward was selected 14th overall by D.C. United in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft, and he signed a professional contract with the club on January 31, 2019. “We had him rated as the best right back in the draft,” said United GM Dave Kasper. “We liked everything about him."[1][2]
He was loaned out to D.C.'s USL affiliate Loudoun United in March 2019.[3] He made his USL Championship debut on March 9, 2019, as he played all ninety minutes in a 2–0 away defeat to Nashville SC.[4] He was waived by DC United on July 24, 2019.[5]

In February 2020, Ward signed with North Carolina FC.[7] He scored the first goal of his professional career on August 8, 2020, the lone tally in a 1–0 NCFC win over Memphis 901 FC.[8] He was later suspended for two games by the USL Championship for kicking Charlotte Independence player Clay Dimick in the neck during a game on August 26, 2020.[9] Ward apologized in a tweet, saying he "lashed out" without intending to hit Dimick.[10]
