Stephen Ward joins Solihull Moors as director of football... with former Ireland and Wolves defender joining just a day after National League club sacked manager Neal Ardley

Stephen Ward has joined Solihull Moors as their new director of football.

The former Wolves and Republic of Ireland defender joins the National League side just a day after the exit of manager Neal Ardley.

It's all change at Damson Park as the aspirational West Midlands outfit parted ways with Ardley after a 15th-place finish and introduce Ward to a newly created role.

Ward said: 'I am delighted to be here and get started in the role at Moors. After meeting the chairman, I was firstly very impressed by him and his vision for the club, along with the clear ambition to progress and achieve Football League status.
