The midfielder came through the academy at Wolves and played 112 times before leaving in January for Colorado Rapids.

Price has since played every minute of the MLS season so far, even scoring against Toronto.

As every Wolves fan will know, a goal is a rare thing for Price.

“It was amazing!” Price told New England Revolution.

“It was my first goal for the club so it was nice. It took me a while to get my first goal back home so hopefully I can get a few more over here and look to get the team going.

“I think the first couple of games, I felt I could have done a bit more. Obviously, I haven’t been playing a lot of football back in England the last two years so I was probably getting the run of games, going again and getting the lungs working again.

“That has been good but I think the last few weeks I’ve performed a lot better and I know I’ve still got a lot more in me.”

It was a tough call for Price to make his big move stateside – but the prospect of regular football was the key factor.

“That was big for me to come over here and obviously it’s a big move but for me to know I’m going to be playing football week in week out is the main thing,” he said.

“That was tough (leaving Wolves). I’d been there all of my career really. That was a tough one for me. Obviously, the move across to America is not easy.

“The people in Denver have been really welcoming and also the club, so it’s made the move a lot easier than I anticipated.”

Price also believes the MLS standard is as good as in the Championship.

“The MLS is a great standard,” he added. “Players back home and myself really, when you’re not involved in this league, you think maybe it’s not the best standard. The teams have got some great players.

“I think the quality is just as good as back home, the football is definitely right up there with the top end of the Championship.”
