The defender started his career in Leeds Academy before being released in 1999, like James Baxendale and James Husband, Price joined Rovers after this. Jamie then played in the successful youth team and was an important part of this. In the summer of 2001 he signed a full time pro contract with Rovers, who were then in the Conference. He managed to earn his place in the first team during the 2001/02 season. Jamie recalls his most successful time was helping Rovers win the Division 3 title, the next season he made 12 appearances in League one before leaving Belle Vue. Whilst at Rovers he has loan spells at Halifax Town and Burton Albion. He was released from Doncaster in 2005 and joined York City, for whom he made 23 league appearances for before joining Halifax in 2006. Jamie would stay here until 2008 and made 76 league appearances. He then had a spell with Farsley Celtic before joining Bradford Park Avenue in 2009 where he stayed for 2 seasons, playing with ex Rovers players and possibly two more players you have forgotten about Robbie O'Brien, a youngster that didn't make the grade and Andy Campbell, who was on loan at Rovers for a short time and brother of Neil. Since he has played for Garford Town and Ossett Town.
In 2013, he returned to Bradford Park Avenue where he plays currently. He is also doing coaching with children.
There you have it, Jamie Price, played alongside the unforgettable Paul Green, having found his way into the first team Jamie's Rovers career probably didn't benefit from Rovers rapid raise through the football league.
Jamie is a true pro, and after contacting him on twitter, he helped edit a few details on this article.
