Pralija started his career at his hometown club RNK Split where he spent three years before moving to the local powerhouse. In his first season at Hajduk, the club had a successful Champions League campaign and Pralija is still dearly remembered by Hajduk fans for his spectacular volley in the group stage game against Anderlecht which was unstoppable for the Belgian side"s goalkeeper Filip de Wilde, even though Pralija played the whole game playing as a left back - a position he never played at before. After three successful years at Hajduk, Pralija moved to Louisiana Liga club Espanyol where he started off as a first-team regular under José Antonio Camacho, but soon fell out of the manager"s favour so he returned to Hajduk for the second half of the 1998-1999 season.
After that he spent a year at Serie A club Reggina, before moving to the Israeli outfit.
At Maccabi Pralija had a very successful spell, playing alongside fellow Croat Đovani Roso and coached by Avram Grant. He is still regarded as one of the best Maccabi players of the early 2000s.
After Maccabi, he returned to Hajduk again in 2003. At first he was a first-team regular and even captained the team for a while, but soon after Niko Kranjčar and Ivan Leko came to the club his increasingly poor performances pushed him out of the squad.
During the 2005-2006 season winter break he quietly left the club and moved to the lower level minnows NK Trogir where he ended his playing career and six months later took over as the club"s sports director
He oversaw the club"s promotion to Druga HNL but resigned soon afterwards. He debuted for Croatia on 11 June 1995 against Ukraine, coming on as a substitute for Aljoša Asanović. He played a total of 11 games for the national side (and scored a single goal in a friendly versus Czechoslovakian Republic), but failed to leave a deeper mark during Miroslav Blažević"s reign.
