Abbott, also without Andy Cook (foot), said: "We need someone who is proven at this level at the moment and Jason fits that bill.
"This is a good chance for him to come here and prove himself and to enjoy himself as well.
"He'll join us on Friday and we're all looking forward to working with him here at the club."
Price, 32, began his career at Swansea and includes Brentford, Tranmere, Hull and Doncaster among his previous clubs.
