Volendam
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. At the end of the 2016–17 season, the option in his contract was triggered and he was extended for one year.

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. 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.

On 8 March 2019, Plat signed a new contract with Volendam until 2020. 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. On 10 October 2019, he had signed another contract extension keeping him at Volendam until 2022.
