CALLAN Ward says he hopes to work out a contract with the Western Bulldogs and says discussion linking him to Greater Western Sydney is not an issue for him.
Ward is said to have been offered a significant contract by GWS and his management has suggested that, like other players, he would be sacrificing hundreds of thousands of dollars if he stayed with the Bulldogs, the club he barracked for as a kid, having grown up within a short walk of Whitten Oval.
''No, it's not an issue,'' Ward said, when asked about GWS speculation. ''I'm here to play football for the Bulldogs and hopefully, hopefully I can work out a contract here and stay here.''
