After signing a new contract with Bolton Wanderers last week, Owen Coyle has allowed Ward, who impressed during his loan at Swindon Town last season, out on loan until January 1st.
Speaking to Sky Blue Player, the winger said: "I'm very happy to be here and hopefully it means I'm getting games under my belt. "There's a good bunch of lads here, it's a good club to be at and I really enjoyed the first morning's training yesterday.
Being the first day it's just meeting everyone but from what I've seen I'm sure I'll fit in."
"If I get into the team my main aim is to stay there. I put a shift in, I'm always positive, I like to put balls into the box and hopefully I can score some goals while I am here as well."
