Coaching career One of the more notable signings of his coaching career was when Ward brought John Gallagher to Leeds, converting the player from rugby union, but Ward was ultimately unsuccessful at Leeds, despite being in charge of one of only two full-time squads in the league at the time, the other being Wigan. Post playing Ward currently runs Birstall Squash Club, and has done for many years. He is the father of the rugby league footballer; Danny Ward.
