Price progressed from the academy at Wolverhampton Wanderers, signing a professional contract in 2011.

At the end of the 2011–12 season, Wolves took up the option of a contract extension that would ensure Price remained under contract for the 2012–13 season.

On 24 March 2012, in the Premier League against Norwich City, Price appeared as an unused substitute, in a 2–1 loss.

For the rest of the 2012–13 season, Price played for the reserve side.

The midfielder made his senior debut on 10 August 2013, coming on as a substitute in a 4–0 win against Gillingham.

It was not until on 30 September 2013 that he made his first start for the club, playing the whole game, in a 2–0 win over Sheffield United.

After the match, Manager Jackett praised Price's performance, describing him as "the team's best player".

He appeared in the next four matches throughout October before suffering a migraine problems that kept him out for three weeks.

He later suffered knee ligament damage during a 1–1 draw against Leyton Orient on 29 December 2013 and was sidelined for four weeks.

Later in the 2013–14 season, Price regained his first team place and went on to be a regular member of the team that won the League One title.

His performances during 2013–14 resulted in him signing a two–year contract.

By the end of the 2013–14 season, Price had made a total of 30 appearances in all competitions.

He began his career at Wolverhampton Wanderers, playing 115 total games and also having loans at Yeovil Town and Leyton Orient in 2014.

He won League One with Wolves in the same year.

He then returned from injury on 25 January 2014, where he set up one of the goals, in a 3–1 win over Bristol City.

In the 2014–15 season, Price found himself out of the first team, slipping down the pecking order following the arrival of Tommy Rowe and George Saville, together with strong performances from Lee Evans and Kevin McDonald.

On 1 September, he moved on a one-month loan to League One side Yeovil Town.

He made his debut five days later, setting up one of the goals in a 3–1 win over Bradford City.

He then set up another goal for the side on 13 September, when they lost 2–1 to Coventry City.

He made seven appearances in total for Yeovil before returning to his parent club in early October.

Shortly afterwards, Price was loaned to another League One team, joining Leyton Orient on 7 October 2014 on a three-month loan deal.

Price made his Leyton Orient debut, playing the whole game, in a 2–2 draw against Sheffield United four days after signing for the club.

However, during a 2–0 win over Doncaster Rovers on 21 October, he suffered an ankle injury, forcing him to return to his parent club.

Despite this, he made two more appearances at Leyton Orient before being recalled by Wolves on 3 December.

By the time he was recalled, Price had made a total of five appearances for Orient.

Having returned to Wolves, Price made his Championship debut as a late substitute in a 1–0 victory at Sheffield Wednesday on 13 December 2014.

He quickly forced his way into the side, regularly partnering the ever-present Kevin McDonald in midfield as Wolves surged towards the end of season play-offs, ultimately just falling short on goal difference.

By the end of the 2014–15 season, he had made a total of 26 appearances, scoring once in all competitions.

He scored his first Wolves goal, and indeed first senior goal, when he diverted a Kortney Hause strike past Heurelho Gomes in a 2–2 draw with Watford on 7 March 2015.

Ahead of the 2015–16 season, Price signed a new contract running until the summer of 2019, with the club holding the option of a further year.

He began the 2015–16 season on the substitutes bench.

He made his first appearance of the season starting and playing the whole game in a 1–1 draw against Preston North End on 26 September 2015.

Following this, Price regained his place in the first team though he often found himself competing with Conor Coady for a midfield position.

Numerous injury concerns caused, Price to be in and out of the first team over the 2nd half of the season.

He scored his first goal of the season on 5 April 2016, in a 2–1 win over Milton Keynes Dons.

In 2018, he signed for Colorado Rapids.
