Jan Plug

Jan Plug has made six starts in Eredivisie 2026 - 2027, recording zero goals and one yellow card – that combination underlines a left back deployed for defensive continuity and regular selection rather than attacking output; his inclusion in the first six rounds points to growing importance to Excelsior's matchday XI.

Plug joined Feyenoord as a trainee in July 2016 and his professional path has been defined by successive loan moves – he spent time at FC Dordrecht in February 2026, returned to Feyenoord in June 2026 and moved to Excelsior on loan in July 2026; at 21 this reflects a development trajectory built around temporary spells to gain senior experience.

All of Plug's senior moves have been loan arrangements rather than permanent sales – he progressed from Feyenoord's trainee ranks, joined FC Dordrecht on loan in February 2026, returned to Feyenoord in June 2026 and then joined Excelsior on loan in July 2026 – the sequence suggests clubs are using short-term moves to monitor his progression before committing to a permanent transfer.
