Charlie Ward was the right player in the wrong system

When discussing the release of Charlie Ward, it’s important to mention, while there are a couple reasons for his departure, skill is not one of them. Partially due to a relationship with then-Dynamo manager Owen Coyle, Ward arrived at RGVFC in 2016 after playing for Stoke City and Aston Villa at the reserve level. To say he had a great first season in the US would be an understatement. The Englishman would play every second of every match for the #2 seed in the Western Conference. He was the Toros’ engine that season and was arguably the best passer in the entire league.
