Playing career edit

Featherstone Rovers edit

Price was signed by Featherstone Rovers in August 1989.[3] He made his début for the club on 17 September 1989.[4]

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.

From 1993 onwards, he was usually referred to as "Gary S. Price", or by his nickname "Slugger", to avoid confusion with another second-rower signed by Rovers, who was also named Gary Price.[4]
