Nejc Praprotnik (born 17 January 1993) is a Slovenian footballer who plays for Ajdovščina on loan from Gorica as an attacking midfielder.

Career

Praprotnik began his career on Gorica's youth categories. In August 2010, he was on a trial at Manchester City, but nothing came of it.[1] On 11 September 2010, Praprotnik made his professional debut, in a 2–1 home win against Triglav.

In January 2011, Praprotnik signed a contract with Italian Serie A club Atalanta,[2] but remained with Gorica, on loan until the end of the season. In July, he travelled to Bergamo.[3] He then played a full season for La Dea's Primavera squad, featuring in only three matches for the whole campaign.

In September 2012, Praprotnik returned to Gorica, in a loan basis.[4] He scored his first and second professional goals on 20 October, in a 4–1 home win against Aluminij.

On 26 October 2013 Praprotnik was an unused sub for Livingston in their Scottish Championship match against Dundee.[5] It was later revealed that he had been on trial with the club but hadn't been officially unveiled as signed. He made his debut on 15 March of the following year, coming on as a first-half substitute in a 0–2 home loss against Dundee.
