Danny Ward Extends Leicester City Stay

- Danny Ward signs new Leicester City contract
- The 27-year-old joined the Foxes in the summer of 2018
- He has been capped 12 times by Wales at international level

The Wales international signed from Liverpool in the summer of 2018 and has made 14 appearances for the Foxes in all competitions. 

The 27-year-old has been at the heart of several key cup victories for the Foxes, including three penalty saves in a shootout win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux in September 2018.

Speaking to LCFC TV, he said: “It’s a really good feeling [to sign a new contract]. I had a really good feeling the first time around when I signed and, luckily, we’ve been able to grow together as a Club and as a team so I’m really excited for what lies ahead. 

“Even in my short time here, you can see in terms of facilities alone, the step up has been incredible. The success we’ve had in the league too, we’ve been on a European adventure as well, so step by step, we’re going in the right direction and, as a player, to be involved in that is really exciting. I can’t wait to see what’s ahead for us.”

Ward began his career in Wales after coming through the Wrexham’s academy and going on to sign for Liverpool in 2012. He then took in several successful loan spells at Morecambe, Aberdeen and finally Huddersfield Town, where he helped the Terriers win promotion to the Premier League with two penalty saves in the Play-Off Final against Reading.

The goalkeeper has also been capped 12 times by Wales at international level – most recently in a 1-0 win over the Czech Republic last month as part of the World Cup Qualification campaign.
