Jan Plug

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

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

His most productive league season came at FC Dordrecht in 2025–26, when he scored once in 14 appearances. It was a modest return, but a useful early spell for a young defender getting senior football into his legs.
