Jan Plug

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

Jan Plug, born on 2 April 2005 (age 21), is a Dutch left-back with Excelsior, where he wears squad number 14. His current market value is around £425,000, according to Transfermarkt.

The main body of his senior football so far came at FC Dordrecht. In the 2025-26 season he made 14 league appearances and scored once, making that spell the clearest marker of his early professional career rather than a footnote on the way elsewhere.

Plug moved on to Excelsior for 2026-27 and has made two Eredivisie appearances. At this stage his career is still a compact one: Dordrecht gave him his first meaningful run, while Excelsior is the next step.

Plug is a 21-year-old left back who progressed through Feyenoord's youth system from 2016 and has followed a loan-based development path into senior football – the sequence of loans to FC Dordrecht and then Excelsior signals a typical young full‑back trajectory of gaining first‑team minutes away from his parent club.
