The tough tackling midfielder joined the Swans in 2006, moving from Fulham for a reported £100,000.
He became a fan favourite early on at the club, scoring a brace against arch-rivals Cardiff City to seal victory in the Welsh derby.
In his 191 competitive appearances for the club, Pratley scored from the halfway line in the semi-final second leg against Nottingham Forest, before gaining promotion to the Premier League against Reading in the final.
The following summer, Pratley signed a four-year deal for Wanderers on a free transfer.
He scored his first goal for the Whites against Swansea City in the FA Cup in January 2012.
Pratley became club captain in 2015, replacing Matt Mills who left for Nottingham Forest.
Despite battling with injury, he played a part in the club’s 2017/18 Sky Bet League One promotion.
He now plays for Charlton Athletic, after moving to the Addicks last summer.

The former Welsh international spent two years with Swansea from 2004 to 2006.
It was a time in Ricketts’ career where awards flooded in, as he won the promotion to Sky Bet League One in 2004/05, earning a spot in the Team of the Year the same season.
As well as this, Swansea won the Football League Trophy in 2005/06, with Ricketts playing a pivotal part in the squad’s success.
Following on from this, a spell at Hull City occurred before linking up with Bolton Wanderers in July 2009 for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year deal.
Spending the majority of his time in the Premier League with the Trotters, the right back was a constant fixture in the first team.
Ricketts has now turned to management, currently in charge of Conference Premier side Wrexham.
