At age 16, Daprelà made his Grasshoppers debut on 2 February 2008, playing 90 minutes in place of the suspended Yassin Mikari.
In July 2009, Daprelà signed for West Ham United from Grasshoppers for a nominal fee joining fellow Swiss international, Valon Behrami who was signed from Lazio in the summer of 2008. Daprelà signed a five-year deal after moving from the Zurich club and arrived as cover for first choice Hérita Ilunga.[1][2][3] Replacing the injured Hérita Ilunga, Daprelà made his first-team debut for West Ham on 3 January 2010 in their 2–1 home defeat to Arsenal in the FA Cup third round.[4] The highly-rated Switzerland Under-19 left-back has worn the armband for Alex Dyer's reserves team.
On 30 August 2010 Daprelà joined Brescia signing a five-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[5]
A regular in the U-17's, Daprelà played every minute of Switzerland's campaign at the 2008 European Championships, starting each match at left back. After the tournament, he was promoted to the U-19's and played in every game at the 2009 European Championships despite not taking part in qualification.
