2007: Not selected for the ill-fated tour of the Americas in March, Pritchett was recalled for the 2-2 draw against Wales in Wrexham and did an admirable job marking Wales' Liverpool livewire Craig Bellamy. Pivotal in Auckland City's NZFC hat-trick in April.

2006: A speedy fullback who shows a willingness to get forward at every opportunity, James Pritchett took his chance when he graduated from the NZFC to the national team in 2006. Capped a memorable year with stand-out performances during Auckland City’s FIFA Club World Cup debut in Japan in December 2006 before helping the Kiwitea St club clinch their third successive NZFC title in April.
