Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Brighton Football Club, Bill Ward was a local product who managed a brief senior career with St Kilda during the club's lean years in the early 1920s. He broke into the senior lineup in the 1922 season and was utilised primarily as a forward, showing some aptitude around the big sticks to boot four goals during his short tenure at the Junction Oval. Ward played sporadic football over two seasons, struggling to cement a permanent spot in the starting 18 before departing the VFL scene after just seven games. While his footballing journey was short-lived, he later served his country with the Australian Army during World War II.
