Owen Price (born 20 October 1986) is an English former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.[3] He is currently an assistant manager with Erith & Belvedere.[4][5]

Club career[edit]

Price played in the system of Charlton Athletic, prior to being signed by Tottenham Hotspur in 1999; having impressed in a youth cup final, aged fourteen, at Arsenal's Highbury, scoring after 4.2 seconds which was named as a Guinness World Record.[6][7][8] A year after signing, Tottenham and Charlton went to a tribunal after disagreements arose in regards to compensation for Price.[6][9] In 2006, despite having years remaining on his Tottenham contract, Price went to Sweden after penning a deal with GIF Sundsvall of the Superettan.[8][10][11] A move to Finland's TPS arrived in 2007, with the midfielder making pro appearances in the Veikkausliiga.[8][12]

Later in 2007, Price moved back to Sweden with Ljungskile SK; where he reunited with David Wilson, who was his manager at GIF Sundsvall.[8] Price returned to England in 2008, signing with Northwich Victoria.[8] He featured in Conference fixtures against Rushden & Diamonds and Altrincham in December.[13] He was with Farnborough between 2009 and 2011, which preceded a two-year stint with Lewes before he returned to Farnborough for the 2013–14 Conference South.[14] Price then spent time with Carshalton Athletic, Cray Wanderers and, on loan, Erith Town.[14] Price joined Greenwich Borough in July 2016; lasting three months.[14][15]

Price signed for Hythe Town from Chatham Town in January 2017.[16][17][18] He played for Phoenix Sports later that year.[19] As he came off a spell as player-coach with Erith & Belvedere, Price agreed terms for the same role with Southern Counties East Football League Division One's Lewisham Borough in 2018.[20][21][22][23] That move came via a stay with Rochester United.[24] He went into coaching in June 2019.[4][5] Despite becoming assistant manager with Lordswood, Price was named as a substitute for their FA Cup qualifying defeat to Steyning Town on 10 August; he didn't come on, but was sent off following a melee between the two benches.[25]

International career[edit]

Soon after joining Tottenham Hotspur, Price was called up by the England Schoolboys team.[1]

Coaching career[edit]

Having had staff roles whilst playing with Erith & Belvedere and Lewisham Borough, Price moved into a sole management role in June 2019 after joining Darren Anslow's staff at Lordswood as an assistant manager.[4][5] He left in May 2020, a month prior to his coaching return to Erith & Belvedere under Del Oldfield; a club he made fifteen appearances in all competitions for back in 2017.[26][27]

Personal life[edit]

Price attended Ernest Bevin College, alongside Cherno Samba.[1] Early in his career, Price signed a sponsorship deal with Adidas.[1][2]
