Jan Plug

Jan Plug of Excelsior was born in Katwijk, Netherlands on 2 April 2005 (age 21).

Jan Plug is a Dutch left-back, born on 2 April 2005 (age 21), who is currently with Excelsior. He wears squad number 14 and is valued at around £425,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His senior career has been shaped mainly by FC Dordrecht. In the 2025-26 season he made 14 league appearances and scored once, giving him his first proper run of first-team football. For a developing full-back, that is the part of the CV that carries the most weight so far.

Plug moved on to Excelsior, where he has made one Eredivisie appearance in 2026-27. At this stage his career is still a short one: a young Dutch defender whose clearest first-team footing came at Dordrecht, now trying to build on it at a higher level.
