Career

Early career

Born in Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear,[1] Pringle started his career as a trainee with West Bromwich Albion, and later played for Newcastle Blue Star and Morpeth Town. He then joined Ilkeston Town.[2]

At Ilkeston he made a total of 54 competitive first team appearances,[3] scoring 6 goals.[4]

Derby County

In May 2009 it was announced he was moving to Derby County on a one year deal, with the move set to be completed in July.[2]

He made his Derby debut as an 80th-minute substitute against Peterborough United on 8 August 2009. The following game of the 2009–10 football season, Pringle started his first game for Derby in the League Cup 2–1 loss to League Two side Rotherham United. Pringle signed an extension to his Derby deal to take him through to the end of the 2010–11 season on 11 December 2009.[5] Pringle was captain of the Derby County reserves side that won the 2009/10 Central League Central Section title and was also named the club's Young Player of the Season for the campaign.[6] He was handed his first League start in the final game of the 2009–10 season against Cardiff City in a 2–0 win and earned the supporter's Man of the Match award. In February 2011, Pringle's contract was extended until summer 2012.[7]

In March 2011, Pringle joined League Two outfit Torquay United on a months loan.[8] Pringle spent just 19 days of the loan at Torquay, playing five games, but returned to Derby after expressing a desire to fight for a place in the Derby first team rather than remain at Plainmoor.[9] Despite having had his contract extended three months earlier, at the end of the 2010–11 campaign, Pringle was told he was free to find another club.[10]

Rotherham United

On 3 June 2011, it was revealed he had agreed personal terms with Rotherham United.[11] The transfer was confirmed later that day, with Pringle joining The Millers on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract.[12] He made his first team debut for Rotherham at home to Oxford United on 6 August 2011, and scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 win over Crewe Alexandra on 16 August.[13] He had made 9 appearances for Rotherham up until mid-October but following his substitute appearance versus Bristol Rovers he had not played again for them as of mid-February.[13] However, he was an unused sub in Rotherham's game against Burton Albion on 18 February.[14]

On 18 January 2013, Pringle signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract with Rotherham.[15]
