According to Van Der Pluym he is going to build on the team’s recent success in the upcoming season. "Getting a chance in a professional club such as Medeama is a great challenge," he told Joy sports "There are very good structures at Medeama in terms organization and for me every opportunity is a new challenge and I'm ready for that. "I think we have to strengthen the team in some positions and with that I believe we can do something in next season's league and the CAF Confederation cup." Van Der Pluym will be assisted Evans Adotey, who won the club's first major silverware last Sunday in the MTN Ghana FA Cup.
