Update, Thursday, Jan. 16: Some have suggested that Extra mistakenly included Joao Plata when Joao Rojas, who does play for Emelec. On the surface, this appears to be the right read. We’ll keep paying attention to Plata rumors, but we have also updated the headline to reflect the information.
The future of Joao Plata appears to be a bit more clear now, with reports emerging from Ecuador outlet Extra that once-RSL attacker has been training with S.C. Emelec.
Plata, 27, spent the last seven seasons at RSL, having started in 2013 under Jason Kreis’s tutelage.
