From a Dortmund trial to Estonian football stardom
In short: In 2011, Albert Prosa stood on the precipice of a major European career. After a high-stakes trial with German giants Borussia Dortmund, the Estonian forward embarked on a journey through several leagues, proving his clinical ability to find the back of the net.
Albert Pro จง Prosa, born on 1 October 1990, has navigated a career defined by prolific scoring stints across Northern and Southern Europe. His rise began in the Estonian Meistriliiga with his local club, Tammeka, where he made his professional debut on 15 March 2008, during a 1–2 home defeat to TVMK. By the 2011 season, Prosa had established himself as a formidable force, netting 22 goals in 33 matches.
A pivotal moment in his career arrived in July 2011, when Prosa underwent a trial with the German champions, Borussia Dortmund. While he did not secure a contract with the Bundesliga side, the experience preceded a period of significant domestic success. On 24 November 2011, he signed a three-year deal with Flora, a club where he would eventually secure a Meistriliiga title during the 2015 season and record 61 goals in 126 appearances.
Prosa's talent for big moments was evident in his international and cup performances. He earned his official senior debut for Estonia on 19 June 2011, in a friendly against Chile, and later scored his first international goal on 6 January 2016, during a 1–1 draw with Sweden. His domestic trophy cabinet includes an Estonian Cup victory in May 2017, where he scored the second goal in a 2–0 win for FCI Tallinn. That same year, he shared the Meistriliiga top scorer title with Rauno Sappinen, finishing the season with 27 goals.
His career has since seen him move through various leagues, including stints with RoPS and TPS in the Finnish Veikkausliiga, and a move to the Maltese Premier League with Valletta in December 2017.
