Pratik began his professional career back in 2011 with Hero I-League side Air India and went on to represent clubs like Rangdajied United, Mohun Bagan and Mumbai FC. He was also a part of the Mohun Bagan squad which won the Hero I-League back in 2014-15. Pratik’s Hero ISL debut came for Kerala Blasters FC in the 2016 campaign in a match against ATK. The defender turned out for the Men in Yellow a total of eight times that term.
