Calum Ward

Calum Ward of Motherwell was born in Essex, England on 17 October 2000 (age 25).

Calum Ward, born on 17 October 2000 (age 25), is an English goalkeeper now with Motherwell, where he wears the number 13 shirt. His market value is around £638,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His career to this point is shaped chiefly by AC Oulu. Across three seasons in Finland he made 77 league appearances, with 2022 his busiest campaign at 25 league outings. For a goalkeeper, that sort of run matters more than most stray details around the edges of a CV.

Motherwell have since given him a regular role. In 2025–26 he has made 37 league appearances and another five in the League Cup, taking him to 42 games in all competitions for the club. That keeps him firmly involved in the current side rather than drifting around the squad list.

Ward’s profile is straightforward: an English goalkeeper whose senior career was built at AC Oulu and has continued with regular football at Motherwell.

Calum Ward has been a near ever-present for Motherwell in the 2025-26 Premiership, making 37 league appearances and starting every one of them. With five further League Cup outings, his workload points to a clear first-choice role rather than rotation cover, while one yellow card and no reds suggest a largely clean disciplinary record for a goalkeeper.

Ward’s route has not been linear. The transfer record shows spells with Bournemouth, HIFK Fotboll and AC Oulu before Motherwell, with the supplied career data listing no league appearances in the recent entries before his current Premiership involvement. At 25, the scale of his Motherwell usage makes this season look like the first clearly established senior starting role in the available data.

Ward’s recorded moves have all been free transfers: Bournemouth to HIFK Fotboll, HIFK to AC Oulu, and AC Oulu to Motherwell. That pattern suggests value-led recruitment rather than fee-driven demand, but the 2025 move has still taken him into a more visible Scottish Premiership role, with his market value now listed at €750k.
