The elder brother of West Ham United's Elliott Ward was one of Watford's success stories of the 2000-01 season.
Darren Ward finally put his injury problems behind him and established himself as a first choice in the centre of defence partnering Robert Page.
Tall and strong, Darren is commanding in the air, reads the game well and poses a considerable threat when he joins the attack at set pieces.
He suffered a setback in November when he sustained what seemed to be a serious thigh injury, but was quickly back in the line-up.
Darren's progress was recognised when he signed a new four-year contract for the Hornets during the campaign.
Darren's contract at Millwall was extended to June 2007 in June 2004 before he joined Crystal Palace in May 2005 with a contract to June 2008.
He joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in July 2007 with a three-year contract but was made available for transfer in May 2008.
After a loan spell, he joined Millwall in January 2009 with contract to the end of the season that was extended to June 2013 in June 2010.
After a loan spell, Darren joined Swindon Town in January 2013 with a contract to June 2014 that was extended to June 2015 in August 2013.
He joined Yeovil Town in November 2015 with a contract to January 2016 that was then extended to June 2017.
