[edit] Ipswich Town

Price, who graduated through the Ipswich Town youth system, is an agile performer who became known for stepping in for Kelvin Davis during the 2004–05 season and saving a penalty against Coventry. After Davies returned from injury, Price played for Cambridge United on loan for part of the season. Davis departed at the end of the 2004–05 season, with Price contesting Shane Supple to be first choice between the sticks.

In August 2006 he revealed that he would like to go out on loan to get some more footballing experience but stated that he did not want to leave Portman Road.

Since then he started nearly every game ahead of first choice keeper Shane Supple. In the 2006/07 season, just a week after Petr Čech and Carlo Cudicini sustained horrific injuries which brought up an argument that goalkeepers need more protection, Price was injured in Ipswich's 3–1 victory over Southend United. Price had to be stretchered off after colliding with Matt Harrold.

Despite playing well for Ipswish when called upon, the arrival of Neil Alexander at Ipswich meant Price's future was destined to be away from Portman Road.

[edit] Derby County

On July 27, 2007, Price joined Premier League outfit Derby County, for an undiclosed fee on a three-year contract, he will provide back-up and competition for first choice goalkeeper Stephen Bywater.[1]

Price made his debut for Derby against Liverpool on Boxing day, after Stephen Bywater was injured in the warm-up and went on to start the next 8 league and cup matches before the signing of Roy Carroll ended his run in the first team. In the FA Cup 3rd round replay between Derby and Sheffield Wednesday Price made two penalty saves helping Derby to victory in a penalty shootout.

[edit] International career

Price received his first call-up to the full Wales international squad for a friendly against Slovenia on 17 August 2005, but missed out on his first cap after he was forced to withdraw with a knee injury. He then made his debut against Cyprus on 17 November 2005. He has five international caps
