Career edit
Club career edit
Prins was born in Donetsk Oblast. He started his career with Estonian first division team JK Vaprus Pärnu. He made 50 appearances for JK Vaprus Pärnu before eventually moving to then 7-time Estonian champions, FC Flora Tallinn,[5] where he was a backup for Mihkel Aksalu until the end of the 2009 season. In 2010, he became the first-choice and played in 27 league games. The next season, he fell down the pecking order and was shadowed by youngster Marko Meerits for the first half of the season, but again regained his position when Meerits was bought by Vitesse Arnhem.
On 28 February 2013, he joined another Meistriliiga side, Narva Trans, on loan until 1 July 2013.[6]

Pedõk made his first appearance for Estonia in an unofficial match against Spanish autonomous community Murcia, when he came on as a late substitute.[7] A year later he was called up for a friendly against Angola on 30 December 2009, but was an unused substitute.[8] He then had to wait another two and a half years for a new opportunity, as he was called up for a friendly against Oman.[9] He then finally got his first official cap for the men's national team on 8 November 2012, when he came on as a 76th-minute substitute in that match to help the team win 2–1.[10][11]
