The 44-cap star was a schoolkid at Wrexham until joining Liverpool in 2012.
But in six years at Anfield he never came close to tying down a first-team spot.
Instead he was loaned out to Morecambe, Aberdeen and Huddersfield before a £12.5million switch to the King Power Stadium.
Ward, who played at the 2022 World Cup, is just the latest player with a Premier League pedigree being linked to Wrexham this summer.

Is 'bad attitude' useful? Fans on Cunha signing
We asked for your views on Matheus Cunha signing for Manchester are some of your comments:Nick: I'm happy with this. We're creating, but not scoring, so getting someone in who has experience scoring in the Premier League can only be a good I think it is a fantastic signing in this struggling Manchester United era. I see hope because he can play in so many positions in Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3/3-4-2-1 and United need goals, that's all they Cunha has the skills but does he have the temperament for the most 'under the microscope' and 'under pressure' club currently in the world? I hope so but so much needs to change around him to get the best from him. Let's hope Amorim's plan gets the support from the boardroom. I'm still holding my At last; the right player, at the right price and at the right age. What could go wrong?Karl: Definitely a step in the right direction. His stats say he has everything we've been missing - awareness, speed, balance, a finishing edge and above all, confidence. Can't wait to see how he works alongside the likes of Amad, Fernandes and Yes, he's renowned for his 'bad attitude' but that's just because he wants to win, which is an attitude sadly lacking in quite a few of our current squad. I seem to recall a certain Mr Cantona was slated for his attitude when we signed him!

Matheus Cunha becomes Man Utd's joint fourth highest earner as his wages are revealed – and he could soon rise to second
MATHEUS CUNHA has become one of the highest-earning players at Manchester United. The 26-year-old joined the club in a £62.5million transfer from Wolves at the weekend. 4 4 4 Cunha penned a five-year deal with the option to extend another 12 months upon his arrival at Old Trafford. And now his wages have been revealed. The Telegraph reports that Cunha will earn £200,000-a-week during his time with Man Utd. It is a huge increase on the £120,000-a-month wages he took home while at Wolves. The Brazilian winger is now one of the higest-earning players at United. Following his move to Old Trafford he will now earn the same as Antony, who spent the second half of this season on loan at Real Betis. Casemiro, 33, remains Man Utd's higest earner with a weekly wage of £375,000. 4 Club captain Fernandes, 30, and Rashford, 27, take home £325,000-a-week. Meanwhile, Mount, 26, earns £250,000-a-week in Manchester. Bruno Fernandes enjoys dinner with Al-Hilal 'secret agent' Joao Cancelo as he faces Man Utd exit decision Cunha could potentially make his way up the list depending on how the transfer window pans out for Man Utd this summer. Casemiro, Fernandes, Rashford and Antony have all been linked with a move away. Fernandes could be the biggest loss for the Red Devils should he leave. The Portuguese midfielder allegedly received an offer worth £700,000-a-week from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal last week. United were also offered a £100m fee to sign him. However, head coach Ruben Amorim insists he wants the midfielder to stay at Old Trafford. Rashford, meanwhile, is expected to leave having fallen out with Amorim prior to his Aston Villa loan spell.
