If it is indeed true that he is our new keeper, here are some stats (from Google)
What Makes Him Good?
Elite Shot-Stopping: According to advanced metrics, he prevented nearly 8 goals over the course of the season that analytically "should" have gone in, thanks to excellent reflexes and short-range saving abilities.
Bold, Aggressive Style: Askou's tactical setup requires Ward to play high up the pitch as a sweeper-keeper and actively claim crosses. While it initially gave Motherwell fans anxiety, his aggressive aerial command (ranking in the 87th percentile for high claims) became a massive asset.
Distribution: He is highly trusted in possession, completing 82.9% of his passes and serving as an integral starting point for the team’s build-up play. Ward went from a backup signing on a free transfer to arguably the Goalie of the Year in Scotland, earning links to massive clubs like Celtic and securing a contract extension through 2027. He is very much the real deal.
Couldnt find many highlight reels other than this....
6'2, so not a massive keeper. Started as 3rd choice for Well and before that was playing in Finland. |  |

Use Charles until Ward is up to speed with the Championship. |  | | |

Is it ever fair to come from Norwich? |
Actually, Norfolk born keepers have the advantage of likely having more fingers then the rest of us. |  |

Surely the only way Ward is going to get up to speed is by playing? | |

I asked someone who knows what they are talking about, they were very positive about him so therefore I am now. Great shot stopper and even better with his feet apparently, but think that has been said already!
Edit - good talker too, comes across very well! [Post edited 9 Jul 18:04]

Can he catch a football?
£650,000 apparently. So about right for what we can afford I guess. [Post edited 9 Jul 12:42]

Best not ask if he can catch a football, Bosh. It’s that sort of attitude that gives other teams a competitive advantage. | | | |

Described as a ‘gloveman’ in the Austria preview on the offish. Gloveman, FFS? Call me old-fashioned but when did goalkeepers become ‘glovemen’?
Clearly another aspect of modern life that’s completely passed me by. | | | |

Every stick-up gang needs a gloveman.
And a wheels man.
And a vault man.
And a Moll.
I've never really known what a Moll is, but they always look cool. |  |

The late painter, writer and journalist Molly Parkin was a cool ‘Moll’. Her autobiography Moll: The Making of Molly Parkin was an entertaining read.
The actor James Robertson Justice (favourite cheese Cracker Barrel) was an early, er, ‘influence’ in her life and his unconventional application of a toothbrush, the details of which need not concern us here, was one of many colourful anecdotes contained therein. | | | |
