Playing career

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Graham began his career as a trainee with Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2002, despite Ward being the Republic of Ireland Under 20s captain, he failed to land himself a place in the first team.

With the club reaching the Premiership, Ward was released by manager Dave Jones.

Kidderminster Harriers

Graham moved to Kidderminster Harriers just prior to the start of the 2003/04 season on a one-year contract, but Ward never really made the grade and was released at the end of the season.

During his time with Kidderminster Harriers, Ward made 21 appearances, but failed to find the net during this time.

Cheltenham Town

On August 1, 2004 Ward joined Cheltenham Town, Graham's time with the club again only lasted one season playing just 2 games. He spent the latter part on loan with Burton Albion where he played 3 games and scored 1 goal.

Tamworth

On May 13, 2005 Ward joined Nationwide Conference outfit Tamworth, where he teamed up with former Cheltenham Town team mate Bob Taylor.

Ward was a highly respected at Tamworth with his hard working displays in the centre of the midfield.

Many Tamworth fans will remember Ward for his opening goal in the FA Cup 1st round win over League Two side Bournemouth, after the player latched onto a through ball and managed to lift it over the advancing Gareth Stewart in the Bournemouth goal.

Worcester City

On November 27 2006, Ward joined Worcester City after spending time with the club previously on loan. [ [http://www.nonleaguedaily.com/news/index.php?&newsmode=FULL&nid=38810 Ward leaves Lambs] ]
