Skipper banking on promotion

The defender, along with team-mate Jamie Short, quit the Peacocks at the end of the season before signing for Martyn Rogers’ Tiverton. And Price believes that Rodgers’ close-season signings will at least be enough to qualify for a play-off place, if not win the Division One South and West championship.

During the past two seasons the 29-year-old has twice missed out on promotion despite Taunton reaching the play-offs and he believes Rodgers is building a squad for success at Ladysmead.

Price said: "We've got a good enough side to win the league so it will be nice to at least take the play-offs and hopefully win them this time, as I've lost in them the last two years."
