About Lucy Ward

Born 1974. Lucy Ward is a British association football player and sports commentator.

Club career Ward joined Leeds United Ladies when it was a community team, playing as a forward during the side's rise to become one of the best teams in England.

Ward played in Lucas Radebe's testimonial at Elland Road in May 2005, scoring soon after coming on as a substitute for Gary Speed and later setting up a goal for Matthew Kilgallon.

She was an important member of the Leeds United squad that reached the Women's FA Cup final for the first time in May 2006, finishing runners up in a 5-0 defeat to Arsenal Ladies.

She became head of education and welfare at Leeds United's academy, overseeing around 250 junior players and a handful of young first-team players including James Milner, Aaron Lennon, Fabian Delph and Kalvin Phillips.

She left the position in 2015, winning a high-profile legal battle (in June 2016) against Leeds owner Massimo Cellino over her dismissal.

International career Ward represented England at Under-21 level at just 16 years of age.
