Steven John Price MNZM (born 12 March 1974) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1990s and 2000s primarily as a prop.
During the 1994 NSWRL season, Price made his first grade debut for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at Belmore Sports Ground on 3 July against the Balmain Tigers.
It was a great rookie year for Price as his side finished the regular season as minor premiers on top of the ladder and eventually going on to reach the 1994 Grand Final which they lost to Mal Meninga's Canberra Raiders.
The experience of finals football so early in his career was a positive for Price as he established a reputation as an effective front rower/prop and second rower with a high work rate.
He proved to be a great captain and the Bulldogs finished the 2002 season with 20 wins, 1 draw and only 3 losses, although they would not play in the finals due to the salary cap breach.
When Price left Canterbury, who had appeared in the finals consistently and performed very well, he went to join the Warriors who had experienced their worst ever season in 2004, finishing 14th of 15 teams and winning only 6 games all year.
Seven weeks later in round 21 Price broke his own record again, this time against the Sydney Roosters where he ran for a total of 323 m. The Warriors finished the regular season strongly, sitting at the top end of the ladder on 4th position, although they struggled to perform come finals time and dropped out of the competition in the second week of the finals losing to the North Queensland Cowboys.
[8] On Sunday 3 May 2009 Price confirmed he would extend his NRL career to a 17th season after signing a one-year contract with the New Zealand Warriors.
Price graduated from the Southern Cross University with a Masters in Business Administration in 2010 as the Outstanding Young Alumnus of the Year.
[15] The award citation read: "He began the role (as captain) following the club's worst-ever season and helped rebuild it to become one of the league’s best."
