The goalkeeper, 32, has re-joined his home-town club on a contract until the end of the 2026-27 season after leaving Leicester City who will come up against the Reds in the Championship next term following the Foxes relegation from the Premier League.
A product of the academy at The Racecourse, Welsh international Ward made the switch to Liverpool in January 2012 for a fee of around £100,000 having made one competitive appearance for Wrexham when he started the 2-1 Welsh Cup third round defeat at home to Airbus on December 3 2011.
The side was made up of youngsters because it was the same day Andy Morrell's senior side caused a huge FA Cup second round shock by winning 1-0 against Brentford at Griffin Park.
Ward, who had successful loan spells with Aberdeen and Huddersfield Town while at Liverpool before signing for Leicester City for around £12.5 million in July 2018, does not count his run-out against Airbus as a first-team outing and can't wait to finally play a game for Wrexham.
"I still don't class Airbus as a first-team game," said the stopper.
"I know it was at The Racecourse but there wasn't many fans there, everyone was down at Griffin Park watching Jamie Tolley whack one in!
"One sort of gripe I had when I left for Liverpool was that I always wanted to play a first-team game for Wrexham.
"Even though it was a great opportunity with Liverpool and a brilliant new chapter, it was something that stuck with me and something I always wanted to accomplish.
"To have that chance now coming back is a special feeling."
Ward was released by Leicester, where he made 29 league appearances in seven seasons, at the end of the 2024-25 campaign and he jumped at the chance to move back to the club where he began his career.
"Exciting times," said Ward. "It was slightly strange driving in to the ground (to sign) but an amazing feeling.
"I have had a busy summer. I went away and got married, I have had the international break and while I was away, I learned of the interest from Wrexham.
"As soon as I heard it, it was something I wanted to happen - 100 per cent.

"Everyone knows my feelings for the club and my history with it so I wanted to get it done.
"The club means a lot to me. Even before I signed as an academy player and my time at Colliers Park, I used to get on the train from Hawarden to come and watch games just after we'd been relegated from the league.
"And then to be part of the club and come through the system, and have an insight into what it takes to be a professional, the grounding it gave me at an early age making my way in the game was unbelievable.
"It is something that set me on my way and I will forever be grateful for that, and hopefully now I can repay that a little bit."
