Lewis Peter Price (born 19 July 1984) is a Welsh international footballer, who plays for Rotherham United as a goalkeeper. He has previously played for Derby County, Ipswich Town,Crystal Palace and Sheffield Wednesday
Price was born in Bournemouth, but graduated through the Ipswich Town youth system. He 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 2004–05 season, with Price contesting Shane Supple to be first choice goalkeeper.
He then started nearly every game ahead of first choice keeper Shane Supple. In the 2006–07 season, just a week after Petr Čech and Carlo Cudicini sustained horrific injuries which brought up an argument that goalkeepers need more protection, Price was injured in Ipswich's 3–1 victory over Southend United. Price had to be stretchered off after colliding with Matt Harrold.
Despite playing well for Ipswich when called upon, the arrival of Neil Alexander at Ipswich meant Price's future was destined to be away from Portman Road.
On 27 July 2007, Price joined Premier League club Derby County, for an undiclosed fee on a three-year contract, to provide back-up and competition for then first choice goalkeeper Stephen Bywater.
