Grant Ward now at Brizzle Rovers 10:23 - Jan 30 with 1775 views | ringwoodblue | Apologies if this has already been posted but as I was browsing all the Jan transfer deals done, I noticed Wardy has gone to Brizzle Rovers on a free from Blackpool. We might come up against him when we play them in a fortnight. Grant is only 28 but his career doesn’t seem to have blossomed anywhere. Hope it works out for him at the Gas. |  |

When he was hear we were crying out for an attacking right wing back or even a conventional but very attacking right back. Always felt he could have been good there. We had Chambers there who did ok but he was really a centre half as we all know. |  |

Never mind forgetting he was on the pitch, I forgot that he was ever at the club. amazing considering he scored a hattrick on his debut, as not many players do that in their career. |  | |  |

He really wasn't much as a player. Our players now are more talented which shows why we were such a mess considering we were a Champ club then. Even the debut where he scored a hat-trick he didn't do that much else in the game as far as i recall which i guess in some ways makes the feat even more remarkable. Some people thought he was going to be excellent for us on the back of that but i never really saw anything from this that made me excited. Looking at his career it looks like he actually overachieved with us. He scored a quarter of his career goals in that 2nd half debut. |  |

So MM didn't sign him at all, I didn't realise that, was he a Jewell signing? |  |

I think Grant Ward is and was just an average, quite versatile & hard working 3rd tier player. Never really nailed down a regular place anywhere, apart from his loan season at Rotherham where he won plaudits. I think thatg was the basis of Town paying £600k for him & at the time he was seen as a promising 22 nyear old, but he hasn't kicked on. |  |

You're yanking my chain aren't you? Mick has just taken the job at Blackpool, a day after Grant Ward left for Bristol Rovers. |  |
