Plat started playing football at RKAV Volendam, after which he moved to the youth academy of FC Volendam. He signed his first contract on 30 March 2015, on a deal until 2017 with an option for an additional season.[2] At the end of the 2016–17 season, the option in his contract was triggered and he was extended for one year.[3]

He made his Eerste Divisie debut for Volendam on 20 October 2017 in a game against NEC as a 71st-minute substitute for Luís Pedro.[4] He mainly played for the reserve team, Jong Volendam in the Derde Divisie that season, winning promotion to the third-tier Tweede Divisie in May 2019.[5]

On 8 March 2019, Plat signed a new contract with Volendam until 2020.[6] He mainly featured as a starter the following season, making 23 appearances as a starter before the season was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7][8] On 10 October 2019, he had signed another contract extension keeping him at Volendam until 2022.[9]
