Playing career

Prince played for Nantwich and Oldham Athletic, before joining Port Vale in May 1928. His debut came on Potteries derby day; a 2–1 defeat to Stoke City at the Victoria Ground on 15 September 1928. Taking the number 1 jersey from Alf Bennett, he enjoyed a spell as the first choice keeper, playing 32 league and cup games as the "Valiants" were relegated out of the Second Division in 1928–29. He lost his first team place to Ben Davies in November 1929, and only featured 12 times as Vale won the Third Division North title in 1929–30. He was released from The Old Recreation Ground in May 1930, and moved on to Rochdale, Wrexham, Shrewsbury Town, Northwich Victoria and then returned to old club Nantwich, before finishing his career with his hometown club Crewe Alexandra.
