Playing career

Featherstone Rovers

Price was signed by Featherstone Rovers in August 1989. He made his début for the club on 17 September 1989.

Price played second-row, in Featherstone Rovers' 14–20 defeat by Bradford Northern in the 1989 Yorkshire Cup Final during the 1989–90 season at Headingley, Leeds on Sunday 5 November 1989, in front of a crowd of 12,607.
