After the 1960 season he rose with the SC progress, after he had played a total of 28 games in the league, in the GDR league . There he played another three seasons for Weißenfels.

For the 1964/65 season, Prell moved to league competitor BSG Stahl Riesa. There he initially stayed for two seasons, then in the summer of 1966 he joined the Oberliga relegated FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt . With only seven point games and three goals, he was part of the immediate return of Erfurt to the league. The league season 1967/68 took place without a bounce, he was only used in the GDR league team Rot-Weiß II.

In early 1968 Prell returned to BSG Stahl Riesa and was there with seven missions and one goal also involved in the league promotion. In the following three seasons he was able to assert himself in the major league. After he had only two first division appearances in the first half of the season 1968/69, he played nine of thirteen point games in the second half of the season, in which he usually played in midfield. In the 1969/70 season he established himself in 23 league appearances on the right defensive position.
