[edit] Gloucester
Pryce re-fractured a bone in his left foot on his Premiership debut in March 2007 and had a pin inserted in his foot. He missed the rest of the season. For the 2007/08 season, Pryce, like other England Academy players at Gloucester, was dual-registered with Moseley and could play for either club during the season.
[edit] Return to Rugby League
On 18 December 2007, Wigan announced that they had signed Pryce for the start of the new 2008 Super League Season, although he missed the majority of this season due to an ankle fracture injury, which had also hampered his time at Gloucester. On 10 December, Wigan announced Pryce's debut would come in a friendly fixture against Warrington on 28 December.[2] Wigan won 44–4, with Pryce scoring two tries.
Pryce made his return to Super League on 20 February against Castleford.[when?] Despite Castleford winning the game 22-28 Karl Pryce scored a single try. Pryce featured in the Challenge cup 4th round tie against Barrow Raiders scoring a try.
Pryce has played the majority of the season in Wigan's Reserve team.[when?] He made 14 appearances scoring 20 tries and has played in the centres, wing and stand off.[when?]
[edit] Return to Bradford Bulls
In 2012 Mick Potter signed Pryce on a 1 year deal for the 2012 season. The 25 year old can play Wing, Centre and Second Row.
