Born in Palma, the capital of Mallorca (Majorca) in Spain's Balearic Islands, Pleguezuelo signed for the club in June 2023 and, in doing so, became the first Spaniard to don the Argyle colours in the club's history.
He originally joined Arsenal in 2013 at the age of 16, following spells in the youth ranks of Atlético Baleares, Espanyol, Atlético Madrid and Barcelona. He established himself as captain of Arsenal's under-21 side before joining his home town club, RCD Mallorca, on loan in August 2016, where he made 17 appearances before returning to London. A six-month loan spell at Gimnàstic followed in 2018, and he made 10 appearances for the Catalonian side. Upon his return to the Emirates at the start of the 2018-19 campaign, he made his senior debut for the Gunners in a League Cup match at home to Blackpool, which the hosts won 2-1.
In July 2019, Pleguezuelo joined Dutch Eredivisie side FC Twente for an undisclosed fee, making 64 appearances in total and scoring three times over the course of four seasons. Fuelled by a desire to return to the UK and with a British partner, he agreed to become Steven Schumacher's first summer 2023 signing, following Argyle's return to the Championship. He scored his first goal for the club in a New Year's Day Championship home win over Bristol City in 2025.
Going on to spend four seasons with the club, not without injury challenges, he remained popular with team-mates and supporters alike and also won the Community Player of the Season award for his work with the Argyle 4 Autism initiative.
'Pleggy' as he had become known to fans, netted his second goal in green in a home win over Bradford City in August 2026 in League One.
