Nii Adamah Plange (born 26 June 1989) is a Burkinabé professional footballer who plays for Portuguese club Académica de Coimbra mainly as a right winger.

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 2012 summer, following another spell with Feyenoord Ghana, he moved to Portugal and joined Sporting Clube de Portugal, 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.

On the last day of the summer transfer window of 2013, Plange moved to fellow league club Vitória de Guimarães.[3] 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.

Plange signed a two-year deal with Académica de Coimbra (also in the Portuguese top flight) on 16 July 2015.[4]

International career

Plange made his international debut for Burkina Faso on 10 August 2011, in a friendly game against South Africa.[5] He was selected by manager Paulo Duarte as he possessed dual nationality due to being married to a Burkinabé woman.[6]
