In 2010, Du Plessis was part of the Free State U19 squad that played in the Under-19 Provincial Championships. He also played club rugby for amateur side Bethlehem Oud-Skoliere (Bethlehem Old Boys).

Eastern Province Kings

He joined the Eastern Province Kings on trial at the start of 2014.[2] He made his senior debut for the Eastern Province Kings in the 2014 Vodacom Cup by coming on as a substitute in their 17–10 opening day defeat to Kenyan side Simba XV[3] and also played in their matches against the Border Bulldogs[4] and Western Province.[5]

However, he was not retained for the Kings' Currie Cup campaign and he returned to playing club rugby in the Free State.
