Karl Pryce (born 27 July 1986 in Bradford, England) is a former English professional rugby league footballer, best known for playing for the Bradford Bulls. His usual position is on the wing. Pryce previously played rugby league with Wigan and Harlequins RL. He also played rugby union with Gloucester.
Pryce is the younger brother of England and Catalans Dragons rugby league player, Leon Pryce. He is of Jamaican descent.
He made his début at St Helens in 2003 and was outstanding as the Bradford Senior Academy took the Championship in 2004. In 2005 he continued his progress and made 21 appearances scoring 17 tries making him third in Bradford's try scoring charts for the year. As Super League champions Bradford faced National Rugby League premiers Wests Tigers in the 2006 World Club Challenge. Pryce played at stand-off half back in the Bulls' 30-10 victory.
Pryce was called up to the Great Britain squad in 2006 for the 2006 Tri nations although he did not feature in the competition.
Pryce re-fractured a bone in his left foot on his Premiership début 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.
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 début would come in a friendly fixture against Warrington on 28 December. Wigan won 44–4, with Pryce scoring two tries.
