Axel Prohouly (born 30 June 1997) is a French footballer who plays as a midfielder for Swiss club US Terre Sainte.
Seen as a top prospect as a teenager, he was courted by Barcelona and Chelsea. However, he ended up signing with Queens Park Rangers from Monaco in June 2015. He had a brief loan spell with Port Vale in January 2017 but left QPR twelve months later without having played a first-team game. He returned to France and had short spells with amateur clubs Racing Club de France, Lorient B, Loon-Plage and Grande-Synthe. He signed with Slovenian club Radomlje, making his professional debut in February 2022 at 24. He returned to France later in the year to play for Saint-Omer. He won the Régional 1 with Calais in the 2023–24 season.
Club career
[edit | edit source]Queens Park Rangers
[edit | edit source]At the age of 13, Prohouly received offers from the youth academies of Spanish La Liga side Barcelona and Chelsea in the English Premier League.[2] He spent five years as an amateur player with AS Monaco, before signing a three-year contract with English Championship club Queens Park Rangers in June 2015.[3][2][4] He scored five goals in 18 appearances for QPR's under-21 team in the 2015–16 season.[5] On 31 January 2017, Prohouly signed with EFL League One side Port Vale on loan until the end of the 2016–17 season.[6] However, he failed to make an appearance at either QPR or Port Vale and ended his loan spell at Vale Park early to return to Loftus Road.[7][8] He agreed to have his contract at Queens Park Rangers terminated in January 2018.[8][9]
French amateur leagues
[edit | edit source]Prohouly turned down a contract offer from Red Star in the hope of a more financially lucrative offer that never came.[8] Before the second half of the 2018–19 season, he signed for Racing Club de France in the Championnat National 3.[10] He played his first game in senior football on 16 February 2019, in a 0–0 draw with Les Mureaux at Stade Yves-du-Manoir, and made two further appearances for the club.[11] In 2019, he signed for Championnat National 2 team Lorient B.[12] He scored his first career goal on 17 August 2019, during a 1–1 draw at Fleury 91.[11] He rejected the chance to play in Bulgaria as he wanted his wife to be able to commute to London.[8] In 2021, he signed for Grande-Synthe in Régional 1.[13] He helped the sixth-tier club to reach the Round of 64 in the Coupe de France, where they were beaten by Boulogne.[11]
Radomlje
[edit | edit source]Before the second half of the 2021–22 season, Prohouly signed for Slovenian PrvaLiga side Radomlje.[14] On 14 February 2022, he made his professional debut for Radomlje during a 4–0 win at Aluminij.[11] He retained his place seven days later for the 4–1 defeat by Maribor at Domžale Sports Park.[11]
Calais
[edit | edit source]On 29 June 2023, Prohouly signed for Régional 1 club Calais.[15] On 18 November, in the seventh round of the 2023–24 Coupe de France, Calais secured a 2–1 victory over ESC Longueau thanks to stoppage time goals from Prohouly and Claudio Beauvue, setting up a match against Ligue 2 side Caen in the following round.[16] Calais achieved promotion to the Championnat National 3 at the end of the 2023–24 season.[17]
Swiss amateur leagues
[edit | edit source]On 29 July 2024, Prohouly signed for Swiss club Zürich City SC.[18] Ahead of the 2025–26 season, he signed for US Terre Sainte.[19]
