Born in Albacete, Castile-La Mancha, Prieto began playing as a senior with local Albacete Balompié, in Segunda División B. In the summer of 1989 the 17-year-old signed with Sevilla FC, being assigned to the B-team who competed in the same level.

Prieto made his La Liga debut on 21 January 1990, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 away win against CD Tenerife.[3] He appeared in just 13 first-team matches in his first two full seasons combined, however.

Prieto scored his first top level goal on 9 April 1994, netting the game's only at Sporting de Gijón.[4] From 1996 to 2001 he experienced two promotions and as many relegations with his main club, partnering mainly Juan Martagón in the center of the defense.[5]

Prieto retired in June 2003 at the age of 31, after several knee problems.[1]
