On January 21, 2014 Pridham was selected in the fourth round (58th overall) of the 2014 MLS SuperDraft by Vancouver Whitecaps FC. [3] However, he wasn't signed by the club.

On July 21, 2013, Pridham was loaned to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the USL until September 30, 2014. [5]

While on trial with Sacramento Republic FC, Pridham scored the only goal for the home side in a friendly 1-2 loss to MLS side, San Jose Earthquakes on February 20, 2016, [7] securing his position with the club, signing a contract three days later. [8] Pridham mirrored his efforts against Highway 99 rivals, Fresno Fuego, [9] proving a productive preseason for the forward. In order to pursue his soccer career, Pridham put an entrepreneurial career on hold resulting in taking home much less money. [10]
