Edgar Prib

Greuther Fürth

Prib made it to the Shamrocks′ first team during the 2009–10 2. Bundesliga season. He missed a major part of the campaign due to torn ankle joint ligament, but he managed to play a total of 11 games anyway. Next season, this number increased to 13, and in the 2011–12 season he became a regular starter, gaining 27 league appearances and helping his team win the 2. Bundesliga and promote to the top division for the first time in their history. The first top-flight season was, however, unsuccessful as Greuther Fürth bottomed the 2012–13 Bundesliga table, resulting in relegation. In spite of that, Prib managed to stay in the Bundesliga: during the 2013 summer transfer window he signed with Hannover 96 for an estimated fee of €2.5 million.

Hannover 96

Prib made his debut for the new club on 10 August 2013, starting the initial game of the season against VfL Wolfsburg at home, the fixture die Rote won 2–0. He scored twice in his 31 league games that season, also receiving 5 yellow cards. His club finished 10th in the Bundesliga. Next year, he scored against Schalke 04 helping his team win their very first match of the 2014–15 Bundesliga season, this was, however, his only goal in that competition as he injured his meniscus shortly after, reducing his number of league appearances to 20 but helping Hannover avoid relegation. A similar thing happened next season: Prib was ruled out with an injury early in September 2015, missing nine games in a row.…

Since Prib was born in Russia, he is eligible for both Russian and German national teams, although in 2016 he said he ″dreams of representing Russia internationally″.

Prib was born in Neryungri, now Russia, in 1989 into an ethnic German family. He emigrated to Germany with his family when he was two years old, settling in Fürth, where he enrolled the SpVgg Greuther Fürth academy.
