Priskin made his debut for Győri ETO FC in the first Hungarian League on 23 April 2003 at the age of 16 years and 7 months. On 9 August 2006 he completed a move to Premier League club Watford on a four-year deal after impressing during a trial period, for an undisclosed fee.

Watford

2006–07 season

Priskin made his debut for Watford ten days after signing as they opened the season away at Everton. After coming on in the 79th minute for Darius Henderson, he set up Damien Francis, who scored the consolation in a 2–1 defeat at Goodison Park. His first goal for the club came on 24 October in a League Cup third round tie against Hull City at Vicarage Road, exploiting a Ryan France error to net the second in a 2–1 win for Watford's first normal-time victory of the season. He made his first start on 30 December, lining up against Wigan Athletic on 30 December due to an injury to Hamer Bouazza. A minute before half time, he equalised by heading in Jordan Stewart's cross for his first Premier League goal, but referee Steve Tanner abandoned the match in the 56th minute due to heavy rain, and the match was made void. In a goalless draw away to Fulham two days later, Priskin was sent off by referee Steve Bennett six minutes into stoppage time for two yellow cards. Priskin's first official Premier League goal came on 9 April 2007 in a 4–2 win against Portsmouth at Vicarage Road, netting the third of the game in the 50th minute from Steve Kabba's cross.…

Priskin played for Ferenc Puskás XI against Real Madrid on 14 August 2005 in an unofficial match. He officially made his international debut for Hungary three days later, replacing Péter Halmosi for the final 21 minutes of a 1–2 friendly defeat against Argentina at the Ferenc Puskás Stadium in Budapest. His greatest success with the national team came in late 2006 and early 2007, when he managed to score in five consecutive international games, a performance unseen in Hungary since the days of legendary players like Puskás or Ferenc Bene. Due to his good performances for Watford towards the end of the 2008–09 he earned a recall to the Hungary squad for the FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Malta. On 7 September 2012, as Hungary started 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification with a 5–0 win in Andorra, Priskin scored the fourth goal. On 5 June 2015, he scored the 4th goal for Hungary against Lithuania in the 30th minute, 35 seconds after teammate Nemanja Nikolić had scored. On 15 November 2015, he scored the first goal in the second leg of the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying play-offs against Norway. Priskin was called up in Hungary's UEFA Euro 2016 squad. On 14 June 2016, Priskin played in the first group match in a 2–0 victory over Austria at the UEFA Euro 2016 Group F match at Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux, Bordeaux, France. Three days later on 18 June 2016 he played in a 1–1 draw against Iceland at the Stade Vélodrome, Marseille.
