All Championship standouts →One of the biggest game-time risers in the Championship: on the pitch for 100% of Wrexham's available minutes this season, up from 17% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.
D. Ward is a 33-year-old goalkeeper at Wrexham, rated 18.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 264th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ward.
Judged on this season alone, Ward graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 41 of the 41 goalkeepers in the Championship, on 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 8). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 36th of 41 of the 41 goalkeepers in the Championship. At 33 Ward is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Wrexham finished 14th of 24 · a mid-table side
2 clean sheets in 8 appearances (25% of games).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 18.3, Ward carries the 36th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Championship of 41 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
