Shane Pryce (born 18 August 1973 in Australia) is an Australian retired soccer player and coach, who last coached for Perth side Inglewood United FC in 2012.
Pryce started his career with Adamstown Rosebud, which he said "was the old school of train hard, play hard, drink hard". [1] In 2000, he signed for Perth Glory due to Newcastle Breakers' financial problems, transitioning from a semi-professional to a full-time team. [1] After playing professionally in the Singaporean S.League, Pryce had a chance to join Brisbane Roar in the newly formed A-League, but the move did not happen because of injury. [1]
The 2005–06 A-League was the 29th season of top-flight soccer in Australia, and the inaugural season of the A-League.

The competition was made up of a triple round robin league stage before a championship playoff featuring the top four teams.
