Lewis Price (born July 19, 1984 in Bournemouth) is a Welsh international goalkeeper who currently plays for Ipswich Town.

Price, who graduated through the Ipswich Town youth system, is an agile performer who became known for stepping in for Kelvin Davis during the 2004-05 season and saving a penalty against Coventry. After Davies returned from injury, Price played for Cambridge United on loan for part of the season. Davis departed at the end of the 2004-5 season, with Price contesting Shane Supple to be first choice between the sticks.

Price received his first call-up to the full Wales international squad for a friendly against Slovenia on 17 August 2005, but missed out on his first cap after he was forced to withdraw with a knee injury. He then made his debut against Cyprus on 17 November 2005. He now has 2 international caps

In August 2006 he revealed that he would like to go out on loan to get some more footballing experience but stated that he does not want to leave Portman Road.

Since then he has started the last three games ahead of first choice keeper Shane Supple.

[edit] Trivia

Just a week after Petr Čech and Carlo Cudicini sustained horrific injuries which brought up an argument that goalkeepers need more protection, Lewis was then injuried in Ipswich's 3-1 victory over Southend United. Price had to be stretchered off after colliding with Matt Harrold.
