Calum Ward has signed a contract extension until summer 2027 after showing "fantastic progression" as Motherwell's first-choice goalkeeper this season. "Calum has really taken his chance this season and shown fantastic progression since the summer," manager Jens Berthel Askou said. "Seven clean sheets in the league so far this season indicate a very strong relationship between the goalkeeper and the players in front of him, and I'm really happy that we can now build on that going forward."
Calum Ward has signed a contract extension until summer 2027 after showing "fantastic progression" as Motherwell's first-choice goalkeeper this season.
The 25-year-old joined in February on a short-term deal amid an injury crisis but did not make an appearance last term.
He signed a one-year deal in the summer and, with Aston Oxborough out injured, has overcome a rocky start to keep 10 clean sheets in 21 outings.
"Calum has really taken his chance this season and shown fantastic progression since the summer," manager Jens Berthel Askou said.
"He has all the qualities we are looking for in a goalkeeper. His quality and composure in the build-up have been of massive importance to us.
"Seven clean sheets in the league so far this season indicate a very strong relationship between the goalkeeper and the players in front of him, and I'm really happy that we can now build on that going forward."
Ward's new contract comes with a club-held option for a further year.
"Results have been going well and performances have been strong," said Ward.
"The future is exciting. The manager and all the coaching staff have worked so hard to get us to this point and we're improving as people every day. It's a pleasure to be involved."
