“Grateful to have signed for Al-Ittihad 🐅,” she wrote on her X account.
“Excited to start this journey alongside some incredible human beings.
“My journey of stepping into more of myself continues…
“It’s more than football 💛.”
Last season, Al-Ittihad placed sixth in the inaugural Saudi Arabia Women’s Premier League.
Plumptre appeared in all four Super Falcons games during the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
