Question Help with Wildcard search

I have a large word document where a word enclosed in single quotes is nor preceded by a space. (E.g. Here is a quoted'word')


I need to insert a space (E.g. to get Here is a quoted 'word')

The quoted word can be preceded by any character other than a space (E.g. [a-z], comma, fullstop etc.)

Try:
Find = <([! ^s]@)('[!std ^s][! ^s])
Replace = \1 \2
