In his second season at Vitesse he scored his first goal for the club, opening an eventual 4–2 defeat to Ajax.[8]

On 8 December 2015, Pröpper scored the winning goal for PSV at home against CSKA Moscow in the UEFA Champions League, ensuring a spot in the last 16 for PSV for the first time in nine years.[9] Pröpper played in every league match but one, scoring 10 goals in the 2015–16 title winning season, successfully defending their title from the year prior.[10]

Brighton & Hove Albion

[edit | edit source]

Pröpper signed for newly promoted Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion on 7 August 2017 on a four-year contract, for a club-record transfer fee.[11] 5 days later he made his debut, playing the full match in Brighton's first ever Premier League fixture. Brighton went on to lose 2–0 at home to eventual league champions, Manchester City.[12] He made his EFL Cup debut on 19 September coming on as a substitute in the 1–0 away loss at Bournemouth.[13] Pröpper again played the whole match at home to West Brom on 9 September where Brighton won 3–1, recording their first Premier League win.[14] Pröpper made four appearances in the 2017–18 FA Cup including the 2–0 quarter final defeat away to Manchester United.[15] On 7 April 2018, Pröpper was shown a straight red card for a late challenge on Jonathan Hogg in a 1–1 home draw against Huddersfield Town.[16] On 4 May, Brighton were to face Manchester United again, this time in the league where Brighton won 1–0 at Falmer Stadium securing Premier League status. Pröpper played the entire match.[17]

Early in his second season at The Albion he featured in the consecutive victory over Manchester United, claiming a 3–2 home win on 19 August 2018.[18] He played in what was Brighton's only EFL Cup match of the season on 28 August coming on as a substitute in the 1–0 home loss to South Coast rivals, Southampton.[19] Pröpper scored his first goal for Brighton in a 2–1 league defeat away against Leicester on 26 February 2019.[20] Like the season prior, Pröpper made 4 appearances in the 2018–19 FA Cup where they went one step further, being knocked out in the Semi-final at Wembley Stadium against Manchester City in which Pröpper played in.[21] Pröpper was again a regular in the squad for the Sussex club where their safety was secured on 4 May as a result of Cardiff City losing at home to Brighton's rivals, Crystal Palace.[22] This confirmation came exactly a year after Brighton secured their safety in the 2017–18 season.[17]

On the opening day of the 2019–20 season, Pröpper set up Florin Andone's goal in a match where Brighton recorded their joint biggest away victory in the Premier League, beating Watford 3–0.[23][24]

Pröpper had an injury hit 2020–21 season with The Albion and was restricted to only 7 Premier League appearances, playing in 11 matches in all competitions all season.[25]

Return to PSV

[edit | edit source]

On 23 June 2021, PSV announced that they had re-signed Pröpper from Brighton for an undisclosed fee.[26] He made his second debut for PSV on 21 July, coming on as a 63rd minute substitute for Marco van Ginkel in an eventual 5–1 home win over Galatasaray in the first leg of the second qualifying round in the Champions League.[27] He came on as a 61st minute substitute for Ibrahim Sangaré in the 2021 Johan Cruyff Shield in which PSV came away with their 12th title after thrashing Ajax 4–0 at the Johan Cruyff Arena on 7 August.[28] His league return with PSV came with success playing the whole match of the 2–0 away win over Heracles Almelo on 14 August in the opening game of the season.[29] He scored his first goal on his return to PSV seven days later, opening the scoring in the 4–1 home victory over SC Cambuur.[30]

On 4 January 2022, Pröpper announced his retirement from professional football, citing a lack of motivation and a discomfort with the current football culture.[31]

Comeback and return to Vitesse

[edit | edit source]

On 27 January 2023, Pröpper returned to playing and signed a contract with his first club Vitesse until 30 June 2024.[32] On 21 May 2024, he announced his second retirement from professional football after suffering a serious knee injury.[33][34]
