Playing career

[edit]

Pritchard was in his youth a trainee by Manchester United, before joined in April 2012 to Oldham Athletic.[2] He made his debut for Oldham Athletic on 21 December 2013 in a 2–0 defeat to Colchester United at Boundary Park, he came on as a 79th-minute substitute for Adam Rooney.[3] After two seasons was released and joined in August 2014 to FC United of Manchester of the Northern Premier League Premier Division.[4]

Limited opportunities at FCUM saw him drop one division to Trafford at the turn of the year.[5] Further moves around the Northern Premier League include New Mills in October 2015,[6] Ramsbottom United in November 2015,[7] Northwich Victoria in July 2016[8] and Ashton United at the start of the 2017–18 season.[9] While at Ashton United, he spent time on loans with Stockport Town[10] and West Didsbury & Chorlton during autumn 2017, to regain fitness after weeks out with a broken ankle.[11][12]

On 25 June 2018, Pritchard joined National League North side Chester.[13] On 30 November 2018, Pritchard moved on loan to Buxton for 28 days to find more regular football.[14] On 31 December, the loan was extended to the end of the season.[15]

In June 2019 he rejoined Ashton United.[16] In July 2023, after spells with Wythenshawe Town, Matlock Town, Radcliffe and Cheadle Town, he signed for Northern Premier League Division One West side Stalybridge Celtic for the 2023–24 season.[17] He joined Witton Albion in October 2023, immediately joining Glossop North End on a dual-registration basis.[18]
