Career
A midfielder, Priest began his career as an apprentice with Everton, where he turned professional in June 1992. However, he failed to make a first–team appearance and his first taste of league action was to come when on loan at Football League Division Two strugglers Chester City during 1994-1995. Priest remained with Chester for four years, playing regularly before opting to join fellow Third Division side Macclesfield Town on the Bosman ruling in July 1999.
His final appearance for the Silkmen against Bury on 8 May 2004 was to also be his final Football League appearance, as he was released and joined Bangor City in the Welsh Premier League.
After two years with the Citizens, Priest signed for Colwyn Bay. He no longer plays football but has started to coach a small Sunday League football team called Newhall Rovers F.C.
