In 2006, he was transferred to Dutch Eredivisie side Heerenveen. Due to his good performances for the Dutch club, the 27-year old has become an active squad player in Croatia's Euro 2008 qualifications. He started the 2008–09 Eredivisie season well, netting four goals in his first three league matches. Pranjić scored his first hat-trick in Dutch Cup, 12 November 2008, in a huge 7–0 win. On 31 January 2009, he made the lone goal in a Heerenveen victory at Ajax. A month later, he scored a late penalty that gave Heerenveen a 3-2 win at PSV.
He won the KNVB Cup with Heerenveen at the end of the 2008–09 season, which turned out to be his last match for Heerenveen In June 2009, Bayern Munich announced Pranjić would join the club.[2][3]. He struggled to make an impact in his first season at Allianz Arena and started only 14 matches losing out to first choice left-back Holger Badstuber.
International career

Pranjić provided an assist to Dario Srna to score the opener in Croatia's 2–1 victory over Germany and an assist to Ivan Klasnić to score the only goal in their next game, a 1–0 win over Poland.
