Caolan Ward
Caolan Ward (born 18 August 1992) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for St Eunan's and, previously, for the Donegal county team.
When first called up for Donegal in 2016, he was based in Carlow and travelled from there to train with the team; by 2018 he had relocated to Monaghan. By 2019, he had returned home to work as a personal trainer at Donegal Strength and Conditioning Gym in a little area called Milford.
Ward is from Letterkenny. He attended St Eunan's College, where he played for the school team and learned to "kick the high ball in low" from team trainer Neil "Flash" Gordon. He later studied at IT Carlow and also played for their team. He would later become teacher at his former school.
Ward was a member of Letterkenny Athletic Club until his late teens, where he competed against and relayed with Mark English, before focusing on his football. Ward's father, Anthony, trained Ward at the local athletic club. Ward specialised in the long jump and was Ireland's best at under-9 level in 2001 and under-13 level in 2004.
Ward made his senior debut for the St Eunan's club in 2010, in a game against Naomh Conaill.
The 2012 Donegal Senior Football Championship was his first Dr Maguire Cup win.
Ward started as his club won the 2014 Donegal Senior Football Championship title, dethroning defending champions Glenswilly in the final. He later won the 2021 Donegal Senior Football Championship title with his club, also starting the final. He then won the 2024 Donegal Senior Football Championship with his club, also starting the final.
Ward played for the Donegal minor team in 2011. He grew up playing at half-back, which he has said is his preferred position; however, he has been used further back in a marking role for his county. He later played for the under-21 team.
