Prout played Gaelic football and hurling as a student at Rochestown College. He later studied at the Cork Institute of Technology and lined out as a dual player with the senior teams in the Fitzgibbon Cup and Sigerson Cup competitions.[1][2]
At club level, Prout began his career at juvenile and underage levels with Shamrocks. After progressing to adult level, he won a South East JAHC medal in 2005 after a defeat of Kinsale in the divisional final.[3] Prout added a South East JAFC medal to his collection in 2016, however, Shamrocks were later beaten by Gabriel Rangers in the subsequent 2016 Cork JAFC final.[4] He also earned selection to the Carrigdhoun divisional team.[5][6]
At inter-county level, Prout first played for Cork as a dual player at minor level. He won an All-Ireland MHC medal in 2001, after lining out at left wing-back in the 2-10 to 1-08 defeat of Galway in the 2001 All-Ireland minor final.[7] Prout later progressed to the under-21 team and won a Munster U21FC medal after a one-point win over Kerry in 2004.[8]
Prout won an All-Ireland IHC medal with Cork in 2003, after a one-point win over Kilkenny in the final.[9] He added an All-Ireland JFC medal to his collection two years later, when Cork had a 0-10 to 1-04 win over Meath in the 2005 All-Ireland junior final.[10] Prout was added to the senior team shortly afterwards and won a Munster SFC medal in 2006.[11] He ended his inter-county career by winning a second All-Ireland JFC medal in 2009.[12]
