Club career

Early career

[edit]

Prtajin started his career with the youth academy of Primorac. After playing for the youth academies of Arbanasi and Trešnjevka, he moved to the youth team of NK Zagreb at the age of 16. After two seasons with the youth team, he moved to Italian club Udinese in 2014 where he was assigned to Udinese Primavera (the reserve team). He made a total of 49 appearances for the reserves and scored 22 goals.[citation needed] His only involvement with the first team was being an unused substitute in a 4–3 defeat against Cagliari Calcio.[2][3][4]

By the end of 2016, Prtajin started training with Croatian club Hajduk Split. He featured in a number of friendlies for the club. In one of the friendlies against Jadran, he scored four goals.[citation needed] He finally signed for the club on 18 January 2017.[2] He made his debut for the club in a 2–1 victory over Slaven Belupo where he substituted Ante Erceg in the extra time.[5]

In June 2024, Prtajin signed for Bundesliga club Union Berlin.[6]

Personal life

[edit]

In July 2017, a fire broke out in Dugopolje, a city where Hajduk Split players trained. Prtajin, along with Toma Bašić, Josip Juranović, Zvonimir Milić and Jerko Šeparović, joined the firefighters in extinguishing the fire.[7]
