A highly promising young player who impressed on first joining the club at the end of August. Jamie is a versatile left sided player who can play in midfield or on the wing, but settled into the Tigers side mainly at left-back. His lank Robbie Savage locks belie a solid tackler with an impressively cultured left-foot who can provide a great threat with his dead-ball delivery as well as his energetic forward running down the flank. Having been released by a Premiership club in the summer Jamie knows good displays for City will place him firmly in the shop window but despite having signed a one year deal with Gloucester Price was released and allowed to leave for Worcester by the end of October. Whilst there seems little doubt the club wouldn't wantto stand in the way of a player moving up thel eagues the decision to release him is doubtless also influenced by poor recent results and the need to trim the wage bill after a premature cup exit. Whilst Price showed plenty of quality he seemed to fade out of games and didn't help his case with a rash tackle earning a red card in a legue game against Hemel. |

Price started out in the schoolboy ranks at Cheltenham Town but good displays there saw him snapped up by Birmingham City at the age of 15 in a deal which could have been worth up to £100,000 for the Whaddon Road side. Price progressed well in the Brum youth side, being selected for the Wales youth team at u-17 and u-19 level, featuring in the same squad as Gareth Bale - now at Spurs. Unfortunately Jamie found it tough to break into the St. Andrews squad and was unable to secure himself a pro contract there. Made several Conference appearances on loan at Tamworth, but had an unsettled summer searching for a new club after being released by Birmingham in June 2007. Pre-season training spells with Hereford, Yeovil and Swansea City ended without a firm offer, but at City Price has a further chance to impress. |
