Keith Ward (born 12 October 1990) is an Irish association football who plays as a midfielder for NIFL Premiership club Glenavon.

Ward began his professional career at UCD before moving to Dundalk for the first of three spells with the Lilywhites.[1]

He made his debut for Bohemians in 2012. Ward moved on from Bohemians to have spells at Sligo Rovers and Derry City respectively,[2] before returning to Bohs for the 2017 season.

Ward joined a select number of Bohemians players when he scored in an away tie in European competition against Hungarian side Fehérvár during Bohs' UEFA Europa League qualifier in 2020. Bohemians were eventually knocked out on penalties.

Ward signed for Dundalk, in December 2021, with his deal effective from January 2022, when his contract at Bohemians expired.[3]

In November 2023 it was announced that Ward would be joining Shelbourne, following 2 seasons at Dundalk.[4] On 23 July 2024, it was announced that he had departed the club by mutual consent after making 2 appearances.[5]

On 1 August 2024, NIFL Premiership club Glenavon announced they had signed Ward, following the dissolution of his contract with Shelbourne.[6]
