At club level Prendergast is a dual player with Ardmore.
His brother, Séamus Prendergast, also played inter-county hurling with Waterford.

In 2002 he won a county intermediate hurling championship medal following a 2-5 to 0-10 defeat of Clonea.
Prendergast made his senior debut for Waterford in a National League game against Tipperary in 2001, however, he remained on the periphery for another two seasons.
By 2004 Prendergast was a regular member of the starting fifteen. That year Waterford qualified for a third successive Munster final with Cork providing the opposition once again. Described as the game that had everything Waterford beat Cork by 3-16 to 1-21 to win one of the greatest games of hurling ever played. It was Prendergast's first Munster medal. The subsequent All-Ireland semi-final saw Waterford take on a wounded Kilkenny team. In spite of this 'the Cats' were the winners by 3-12 to 0-18.
