Club career

Born in Accra, Ghana, Plange began his career with local Feyenoord, moving to ASEC Mimosas on loan in July 2009.[1] In the summer of 2012, following another spell with Feyenoord Ghana, he moved to Portugal and joined Sporting CP, initially being assigned to the reserves in the second division.[2] He made his Primeira Liga debut in the last day of the season, playing one minute in a 4–1 away win against S.C. Beira-Mar.[3]

On the last day of the summer transfer window of 2013, Plange moved to fellow league club Vitória de Guimarães.[4] He played his first competitive game for his new team on 14 September, coming on as a 58th-minute substitute in a 1–0 success at Rio Ave FC.[5] he scored his first goal in the Portuguese top level the following 8 February, but in 2–3 away loss to Vitória de Setúbal.[6]

Plange signed a two-year deal with Académica de Coimbra (also in the Portuguese top flight) on 16 July 2015.[7]

International career

Plange made his international debut for Burkina Faso on 10 August 2011, in a friendly game against South Africa.[8] He was selected by manager Paulo Duarte as he possessed dual nationality due to being married to a Burkinabé woman.[9]
