Brentford

Ware and Chatham Town teammate Len Ramsell earned moves to Third Division South club Brentford in March 1928.[2] Ware quickly became a first team regular at wing half and his "never-say-die attitude" won him plaudits from the Brentford supporters.[2] Ware was also a part of the team which was promoted as champions to the Second Division in the 1932–33 season.[3] Ware departed Griffin Park in the summer of 1933, after making 102 appearances for the club.[2]

Ware joined Third Division North club Crewe Alexandra in 1937 and made league 62 appearances before the breakout of the Second World War in 1939 brought his career to an end.[2]
