Jack Price opens up on his bond with Shrewsbury Town assistant Dave Edwards

From midfield partners to player and coach - Jack Price and Dave Edwards are reunited once again at Shrewsbury Town

Price has gone from lining up alongside Edwards in midfield to playing under him after the former Shrewsbury captain took up the role of assistant manager.

The pair first played together during their time at Wolves and, after Price’s return to Shrewsbury this summer, they have been reunited once again in their hometown.

The 33-year-old has opened up on his close relationship with Edwards as they prepare to work together in a different capacity.

Price said: “I’ve played with Edwards at Wolves. Obviously, being from Shrewsbury, that’s how we had a bit of a partnership there. We played together a little bit in the midfield, which was nice.

“He is Shrewsbury through and through. I think I am Shrewsbury (though and through), he's more Shrewsbury than me.”

Price returned to his former club after a spell with Brackley Town, where he played under Salop boss Gavin Cowan, and is hoping to make an impact during his second stint at the Croud Meadow.

Meanwhile, Edwards recently signed a new deal to remain as Shrewsbury’s assistant manager.

The role marks the first coaching position of his career - something he had not originally planned to pursue - but he stepped in to help his boyhood club and has since embraced the opportunity.

Price continued: “He’s just a great person to have at the top. Everyone loves him at the football club. He loves the football club.

“He just brings that good energy, that good vibe and positivity.

“Obviously, he’s played at the top level. He’s scored at every level. He played for his country. If you don’t respect that, then you shouldn’t really be in football.

“Players should look up to him, the young lads - be Dave Edwards, on and off the pitch, then you’re going to go a long way.”
