Pryce returned to winning ways against journeyman Michael Monaghan at the Newport Leisure Centre on 21 August 2009 before taking part in the Prizefighter series on 26 February 2010. The contest, at the York Hall, pitched Pryce against former opponent Neil Sinclair in the first round with Pryce avenging his defeat then with a three-round points win now. In the semi-final he lost to the eventual winner of the tournament Prince Arron. On 9 July 2010 Pryce set his sights on a shot at the British welterweight title by scoring a win over former European champion Ted Bami, avenging a defeat by the same man earlier in his career. The fight lasted until just before the end of the 2nd round when a sharp left hook to the jaw of Bami proved the catalyst for a stoppage, Speaking of the win Pryce paid tribute to his new trainer, former pro Gary Lockett, saying "I was in danger of turning into a journeyman but Gary's going to get me back to title level" and adding "I'll take on any top welterweight in Britain. I'm full of confidence - that fight proves how hard I hit". On 6 November 2010 Pryce continued his march towards a title chance beating former Prizefighter champion Michael Lomax on points over the 8 round distance despite suffering a number of cuts to his eyes. Pryce suffered disappointment however on 12 February 2011 when he lost to the former British and European light welterweight champion Colin Lynes at the Olympia in Liverpool. The fight, very close at 78-77, was disappointing for Pryce as he had previously been in training for a shot at the British light middleweight title held by Sam Webb until that contest was called off.
