Jamie Ward (born May 12, 1986) is a professional footballer, currently playing as a midfielder or forward for Chesterfield. He was born in Birmingham, but qualifies to play for Northern Ireland through his grandfather. He made two appearances for the Northern Ireland under-18 side and in September 2006 was an unused substitute for the Under-21 team in their game against Germany.
Ward began his career as a trainee with Aston Villa, playing in the 2004 FA Youth Cup Final defeat against Middlesbrough. He turned professional in July 2005 after recovering from injuries received in a car crash in 2004.
He joined Stockport County on loan in March 2006 until the end of the season[1], making his league debut in a 1-0 victory away to Bury on the 7th of March. He made 9 appearances, scoring once in a 3-1 home victory against Shrewsbury Town.
At end of the 2005-06 season, Ward was released by Villa. On July 6, 2006 he signed a 3-year contract with Ian Atkins' Torquay United, despite interest from Stockport County and Wrexham [2]. However, with a change of ownership and manager at Torquay, Ward asked for a transfer in December 2006 and joined Chesterfield, managed by former Torquay manaager Roy McFarland, on January 31, 2007[3].
