Edit ProfileCareer
After four seasons at Filbert Street,where he was considered to be a "clever player", Price moved to the south coast to join Southampton in May 1924 along with half-back Dennis Jones as part of an exchange deal that saw full-back Harry Hooper move in the opposite direction. Price was unable to break back into the side and in May 1925 he asked for a transfer. In the 1925 close-season, Price moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers for a fee of £250, where he remained for two seasons before joining Chesterfield in 1927.
Fred"s brother Jack was also a football player with Leicester City, Bristol Rovers, Swindon Town and Torquay United.
