One of the finest faux foul free kick winners I have ever seen, let alone play for us. A real trade mark of his and effective. Made me lol many times. Must have wound up the opposition something rotten. A good servant over three seasons and the time was right. Good luck Prats!
You can see he's a great pro and a top team-mate. Clearly he has the respect of everyone at the club and that says a lot, I think he'll be missed in the dressing room next season.
He really stood up in the Championship season when everything else was crumbling and along with the goal against Donny i'll always have a soft spot for him
On the pitch his hard work, tenacity, leadership and game management have been as important and his passing was annoying but he was top class at what he did.
Will never forget the Doncaster goal, one of my favourite moments in life itself & for that I wish him all the best. He certainly wasn't an over the hill signing stealing a wage that's for sure.
Echo the thoughts of many,a warrior who always gave/tried his best a proper heart on his sleeve player with a raw emotion that got him in trouble more times than not,wherever you end up Dazza,good luck for the future...
If you're looking for a player say, with a magic wand of a left foot - then perhaps Prats is not your man. But in the midfield engine room, he did the grunt work that every team needs, knitting the side together.
Sure, he has his limitations but despite his age, still one of the fittest players on the park.
Never underestimate his spirit and determination, a leader with an attitude that carried him all the way to playing in the Premier League. Huge influence in the dressing room. His managers always valued him, even if some fans thought they knew better.
A truly under rated player by many. Good luck, Prats - and thanks for the memories.
Top man, good player (one of those you'd rather didn't play against you) and I will miss him but like others I feel this is the right decision if we want to push on next season. That goal against Doncaster in the 2nd leg play-off semi final is one of those I will remember for a long time. All the best with your future Darren!
Thanks Prats. I think my memories of his first few games he played I was very underwhelmed but he quickly turned it around and showed he still had something to offer. To still have that much energy and enthusiasm for the game at his age is a huge credit. I feel like he's the exact type of player other players in the team love to play alongside. I feel he came in for an unnecessary amount of stick from some fans especially this season. Good luck with whatever the future holds.
The right time for him to finish. I though we might have found a place on the coaching staff for him. He’s been great for us. Good luck and thanks big man.
Leaves with everyones blessings......has been a great pro, both on and off the pitch. Hope he quickly gets himself a decent gig......I imagine there will be further opportunities out there for him. A team like Gillingham springs to mind.
What a great pro. Always gave his all and continued to surprise us with his contribution right until the end. He dug us out of quite a few holes in his three years. He owes us nothing. Good luck. Prats.

Whatever fans thought about his modus operandi, no-one should fault his total commitment to our club.
Sincerely hope he finds another club very soon & wish him all the best for the future.

I wish you well on your next move prats.
Don't think you could ever question his passion and clearly liked by the other players too.
He was also a much better player than a few fans realised or understood. Football isn't just about hitting 40 yards passes once a game.
For the Donny semi-final and for changing the play-off final alone he deserves great credit.
But all good things come to an end. Only wish him well for the future.
Hope he quickly gets himself a decent gig......I imagine there will be further opportunities out there for him.
