Prue came out of retirement in 2018 to return to the Lightning roster. During his time away from the SBL, he continued playing in the local league at Lakeside to maintain a degree of touch and fitness, but he had never once considered a return until new Lightning coach Dave Daniels got in contact with him. Initially Prue thought that was to help out in a coaching capacity, until Daniels outlined the dearth of bigs the Lightning would have in 2018 and that he wanted him to play. On 16 March 2018, in his first SBL game since 2015, Prue had a trademark performance with 21 rebounds in a 102–88 season-opening loss to the Perth Redbacks.

Since joining the SBL in 2000, the Lightning had been a powerful force in the SBL, never going through a season winning single-digit games. In the previous 15 seasons, their worst record was 11–15 when they last missed the finals in 2001. Prue appeared in all 26 games in 2015, averaging 8.0 points and 17.5 rebounds per game.

In Lakeside's opening game of the 2014 season, Prue grabbed 31 rebounds in a 101–88 win over the East Perth Eagles.

He impressed coach Trevor Gleeson during his trial period, and on 2 October 2013, Prue signed with the Wildcats as a short-term replacement for injured centre Matt Knight. At 31 years of age, Prue said he never expected this opportunity to happen, despite having played under Wildcats assistant Andy Stewart at Lakeside for many years. Prue said upon signing, "As a kid you always dream to play in the NBL, for this team, but after all these years I never expected it to be something that would eventuate and due to circumstances it's come off, and I'm really excited about the opportunity".

Prue appeared in three of the Wildcats' first six games to begin the 2013–14 NBL season. On 1 November 2013, in his third and final game, Prue had seven rebounds in nine minutes of action in an 87–47 win over the Wollongong Hawks. He finished with nine rebounds in his three games.
