Cats sign 'keeper Ward
Sunderland today completed the signing of goalkeeper Darren Ward.
The experienced Wales international was out of contract this summer after being released by Norwich at the end of last season.
The 32-year-old, who has played more than 500 career league and cup games over the last 14 years, has signed a one-year contract at the Stadium of Light, with an option to extend that for a further year.
Ward, capped five times by Wales, brings experience to the goalkeeper team at Sunderland, and manager Niall Quinn today said: "Darren has played over 500 games and is very experienced. This is exactly what Ben Alnwick and Trevor Carson need and exactly what the club needs in that position.
"Darren's arrival will increase the necessity and desire of all our 'keepers to make the team and they must all push each other now."
Ward kept a clean sheet for Nottingham Forest against Sunderland on the opening day of the 2003-04 season as Mick McCarthy's Black Cats were beaten 2-0 at the City Ground.
He was also in goal for Paul Hart's Forest at the Stadium of Light later that season, on January 10 2004, when Sunderland were 1-0 winners, Julio Arca scoring the winning goal.
The Worksop-born 'keeper began his career with Mansfield Town in 1992 and he made almost 100 league and cup appearances for the Stags before signing for Notts County in summer 2005 for £150,000.
He spent six years at Meadow Lane and played 302 games for the Magpies - playing under both Sam Allardyce and former Sunderland coach Jocky Scott during his time there - before David Platt signed him for arch rivals Forest in May 2001.
He spent a further three years at the City Ground, playing 137 games under three managers, and then signed for Norwich in August 2004, but his appearances at Carrow Road were limited due to Robert Green's consistently impressive form over the last two seasons. |
