On 12 August 2022, Ward joined Hungerford Town on a one-month loan. On 7 September 2022, this deal was extended until the end of the season.

He was recalled from his loan with immediate effect on 7 April, and made his first performance since returning to the club, in a 2–0 defeat to Port Vale, with the manager impressed by his performance despite the loss, tipping him to be a future first-choice goalkeeper for the club.
