Joanna Price (born 7 June 1985) is a Welsh rugby union player and former footballer.

Her two brothers, Nicholas and David, both played football for the city's football team and her elder sister Katie played hockey. [1]
Price began playing for local amateur side Goodwick United before moving on to Haverfordwest County. At the age of 16, she wrote to Arsenal in the hope of gaining a trial at the club. She received a reply eight weeks later and was invited to the club's training ground in Colney Heath where she impressed enough to be offered a place in their junior team. She remained with the club for three-and-a-half seasons before joining Bristol City in order to be closer to South Wales to start a sports coaching degree at UWIC. [1]
After a "five year sabbatical" from football, Jayne Ludlow called Price up for a national team training camp in 2015. [2] She started for Wales in their first UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying match against Austria, a 3–0 defeat in Sankt Pölten. [3]
While studying at UWIC, Price was contacted by the university's Rugby coach who asked her to try out for the side. She was selected in the university side for the British Universities Sports Association Cup and played in the semi-final and final as her side claimed the trophy. [1]
In 2012, she attended a training session with Haverfordwest after the side appealed for more players. [1]
