Nigeria’s Super Falcons defender, Ashleigh Plumptre, has signed a new two-year contract which will see her remain with Saudi Women’s Premier League outfit Al-Ittihad Ladies until 2028.
The 28-year-old joined Al-Ittihad on a free transfer in September 2023 following the expiration of her contract with Leicester City.
Since joining the Tigers, Plumptre has scored 15 goals and registered 19 assists in 41 appearances.
The former Notts County star is currently recuperating from a foot injury that has sidelined her since March.
Plumptre was omitted from Nigeria’s squad for the upcoming 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations to prioritise her long-term recovery.

She was part of the Super Falcons squad that won a record-extending 10th title at the WAFCON 2024 finals.
Lamenting her omission from this year’s WAFCON on X earlier, Plumptre wrote: “The body is asking for more time and I’m listening.
“Sad to be missing this WAFCON yet hopeful in the prospect of getting to fight alongside these women again with the support of Nigerians everywhere when the body is ready to compete again.
“So, in the meantime, back these women, back them on their quest for victory once more. Go easy on them, they need you.
“I am with you ladies. Naija no dey carry last.”
