Érick Alexander Plúas Vera (born 20 March 2002) is an Ecuadorian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Orense S.C. in the LigaPro Serie A.
Club career
Plúas joined the youth academy of Orense S.C. as a child and rose through the club's junior categories, winning several youth titles with the side. As a youth international, he was a regular starter for Ecuador's under-15 side at the 2017 South American Under-15 Championship in Argentina, and later played at the 2019 South American Under-17 Championship in Peru, through which Ecuador qualified for that year's 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil.
On 4 July 2020, Orense confirmed that Plúas, then 18, had been sent on a one-year loan with an option to buy to Brazilian club Palmeiras, where he had already been training for several months.[1] Registered with Palmeiras' under-20 squad, he was among a group of youth players promoted to train alongside the first team under head coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo.[1]
Plúas returned to Orense S.C. at the end of the loan and was promoted to the first-team squad in 2021, going on to become a regular member of the side in the LigaPro Serie A, primarily as a central or defensive midfielder.
International career
Plúas represented Ecuador at under-17 level, featuring at the 2019 South American Under-17 Championship in Peru, and was named in the squad for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil, announced on 8 October 2019.
In December 2023, he was called up by coach Miguel Bravo to a training microcycle with the Ecuador under-23 squad as part of preparation for the 2024 Pre-Olympic Tournament in Venezuela, a qualifying competition for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[2]
