Born in Accra, Ghana, Plange began his career with local Feyenoord, moving to ASEC Mimosas on loan in July 2009.

[2] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 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]
