Jamie Ward Released

Youth striker Jamie Ward, who has been on loan to rave reviews at Stockport for part of last season scoring one in nine, has been released by Aston Villa.

His agent, Gino Culberston, says he’ll find a club for Ward soon.

Culbertson said: ‘Aston Villa have released Jamie on a free transfer but there are several clubs already interested in signing him. Colchester, Chesterfield, Wrexham, Torquay and Stockport are all in there.’

Good luck Jamie, you’ll do it son!

Shame to see another of the kids leave, but footie is a tough game, only a very few make the step up. Look at our FA Youth Cup winning players, most have now moved on to clubs in lower leagues.
