Brentford
Ware and Chatham Town teammate Len Ramsell earned moves to Division Three South side 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 Division Two in the 1932–33 season.[3] Ware departed Griffin Park in the summer of 1933, having made 102 appearances for the club.[2]

Crewe Alexandra
Ware joined Division Three North side Crewe Alexandra in 1937, making 62 appearances for the club before the breakout of the Second World War in 1939 brought his career to an end.[2]
