Club career
Pleşan started his career at Universitatea Craiova, with Craiova was relegated at the end of the season, the team's star moved to Dinamo Bucureşti. His stay there was, however, a short one, not only due to his mediocre performances, but also because Gheorghe Hagi wanted him at Poli. Consequently, after just a few months at Dinamo, Plesan moved to Timişoara, declaring he had never really adapted to the lifestyle in Bucharest, nor to his role on the pitch at the league runners up. The transfer fee was about $800,000. He is usually used as a central midfielder although he primarily is an attack minded defensive midfielder.
