Helen Jane Ward (née Lander; born 26 April 1986) is an international football striker. She plays club football for FA WSL team Chelsea Ladies, whom she joined from Arsenal in 2010. Born in the London Borough of Brent, Ward began her career with 14 years at Watford Ladies where she was a prolific goalscorer and team captain.

Ward played for the England women's national under-23 football team in 2007, but chose to represent Wales at senior level in 2008. With 25 goals, she is the Welsh national team's all–time record goalscorer.

Club career

Ward began her career with Watford Ladies, joining at the age of nine and progressing to become captain of the senior side. She left to join Arsenal Ladies in January 2009, scoring on her debut later that month as Arsenal beat Colchester United in the FA Women's Cup.[4]

Ward moved to Chelsea Ladies in September 2010.[5]

International career

In July 2007, Ward made a 10 minute substitute appearance for the England women's national under-23 football team in a 4–1 Nordic Cup defeat by Finland.[6]

Ward represented England at Under-23 level, but, due to her mother's father being Welsh,[3] she made her senior debut for Wales against Luxembourg on 30 September 2008. Wales came from behind to win 6–1, with Ward scoring the second goal.[7]

In August 2010 Ward scored six goals in Wales' 15–0 win over Azerbaijan. She was listed as a Chelsea player.[8]
