Ben Ward (born 1984) is an English rugby union player-coach who plays at fly-half. He has spent the bulk of his career at Ealing Trailfinders, being part of a team that has achieved five promotions in little over a decade as they have come up through the English league system - from tier 6 all the way up to tier 2 (RFU Championship). A dependable points kicker, he is one of the most prolific scorers in the history of National League 2 South with over 700 points in that division. Ben is currently Ealing's Director of Rugby as well as a member of the playing squad.
Growing up in Teddington, Greater London, Ben attended Hampton Grammar School and later, St Mary's University in Twickenham. While a young up and coming player, he was capped by England Students and was part of the junior squad at London Irish. Unable to break into Irish's first team he spent a brief spell with Esher in National Division Two before joining current side Ealing Trailfinders in 2004, then playing three divisions further down in what was then known as London 2 North. Ben had a very successful first season with Ealing as his club side finished as champions and gained promotion to London 1. The next season, he achieved a second promotion with Ealing as they finished runners up in the league but were victorious in their promotion playoff game, defeating South West 1 runners up Cleve 48-16, with Ben kicking 18 points.
