Isaac Jude Price (born 26 September 2003) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Belgian Pro League club Standard Liège and the Northern Ireland national team.
Price was born in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, and raised in Normanton, nearby Wakefield. His paternal grandmother was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland and he also has ancestry from the Republic of Ireland and Germany.[2] [3]
Price joined the Everton academy at the age of 7.[4] In September 2020, he signed his first professional contract with the club, for three years.[5] On 3 March 2022, he made his professional debut as an 89th-minute substitute in the 2–0 FA Cup victory over Boreham Wood.[6] On 22 May, he made his Premier League debut as a 78th-minute replacement for Tom Davies in a 5–1 loss to Arsenal on the final day of the season.[7]
On 10 June 2023, Price signed a four-year deal for Standard Liège of the Belgian Pro League.[8] He scored his first club goal on 8 October, a last-minute winner in a 2–1 home victory against Club Brugge KV.[9]
Price was eligible to play internationally for Germany or the Republic of Ireland, and was tracked by England before opting for Northern Ireland.[2] [3]
On 7 March 2023, he received his first call-up to the Northern Irish senior national team for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying matches against San Marino and Finland.[10] [11] On 23 March, he made his senior international debut as a substitute in the 2–0 win over San Marino.[12] On 7 September 2023, Price scored his first goal for Northern Ireland, an equaliser in the 4–2 defeat away to Slovenia in a Euro 2024 qualifier.[13]
On 15 October 2024, Price scored a hat-trick in a 5–0 victory over Bulgaria in the UEFA Nations League.[14] In doing so, he became the first Northern Irish player to score at least two goals in a match at Windsor Park since Kyle Lafferty in 2016. It was also only the fourth time the nation has ever scored five goals in a match.
