Fulham

Starting his career at Fulham after signing from local rivals Arsenal, Pratley signed his first professional contract with the club in 2002. He made his professional football debut in a League Cup match at Wigan Athletic on 23 September 2003, coming on as a substitute for Andrejs Stolcers, as Fulham went on to lose 1–0. Pratley made his league debut against Charlton Athletic on 8 November 2003, again as a substitute, this time for Barry Hayles, as the club went on to lose 3–1. These turned out to be the only two matches he would play for Fulham. At the end of the 2003–04 season, Pratley signed a two-year contract with the club, which will keep him until 2006.

Having spent the latter parts of the 2004–05 season on loan at Brentford, on 30 August 2005 Pratley moved back to the Bees until January 2006 on a loan period that was subsequently extended until the end of the 2005–06 season.

On 16 January 2009, Pratley was called up to the Jamaican squad by coach John Barnes to face Nigeria on 11 February 2009. Pratley qualified for Jamaica through his grandparents.

In June 2026, having been under-21s coach with Leyton Orient since his retirement the previous year, he was promoted to the role of first-team coach.
