Glynor Orvil Plet (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɡlaːinər ˈɔrvɪl plɛt];[3] born 30 January 1987) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a striker. He is the all-time top scorer and former captain of Telstar. Plet is noted for his physical strength, ability in the air, and ball retention.
After a turbulent youth career, where he alternated between playing for amateur and professional clubs, Plet made his professional debut in November 2005, aged 18, for Eerste Divisie club Den Bosch. Failing to break through, he moved to amateur club Lisse where he turned heads by becoming top goalscorer in the Hoofdklasse and winning the title with the club. He then signed his first professional contract with Telstar aged 21. After scoring 18 and 21 goals respectively in his two seasons at Telstar, he earned a move to Eredivisie club Heracles Almelo. In 2012, he joined Twente, before moving abroad and having stints of varying success with Genk, Hapoel Be'er Sheva, Zulte Waregem, Maccabi Haifa, and Alanyaspor.
In July 2019, Plet returned to Telstar, where he became the club's all-time leading goalscorer in May 2023. Despite Telstar's interest in renewing his contract, Plet decided not to continue at the club, and left in June 2023.
