On 16 August 2018, he joinedAthletico Paranaense on a one-year contract.[7][8] In December, Paranaense won theCopa Sudamericana, but Plata wasn't able to play because he already played part of the competition with Santa Fe. His spell at the Brazilian club was short-lived and under expectations, only playing 8 games without scoring any goals, mainly due to an injury he suffered.[9] In June 2019, he joined Deportes Tolima.[10] In June 2021, he won his first title with Tolima, playing in both legs of the victory against Millonarios in the final of the league.[11]

Anderson Plata likes to take advantage of his speed and dribbling, which has developed him into a winger that likes to take on defenders. However, he has been criticized for his decision making sometimes, as he would make passes at the wrong time or have poor accuracy when taking shots, although he improved these things as he aged.[16][10]
