[edit] Football career
After emerging through hometown RCD Mallorca's youth system (appearing in one La Liga match in 1991–92, a 1–2 home loss to Athletic de Bilbao) and playing one season with Celta de Vigo, Prats finally settled at Seville side Real Betis, where he played for nine seasons. Ironically, in 1999–2000, as Betis were relegated, Prats found the net twice, against Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid (respectively 2–1 win and defeat), through free kicks.[1]
In 2005–06, Prats returned to Mallorca for a further two seasons, before the emergence of Miguel Ángel Moyà forced a move to second division's Hércules CF, where he was scarcely used, retiring in March 2008 following recurrent back problems.[2]
