Super Falcons defender Ashleigh Plumptre has officially signed a contract extension with Al-Ittihad Ladies, committing her future to the club until 2027. The new deal reinforces her status as one of the top international stars in the Saudi Arabian Women’s Premier League and highlights the country’s growing football ambitions.

Since joining Al-Ittihad in 2023 after leaving Leicester City, Plumptre has been a defensive pillar, bringing experience from the English Women’s Super League and international tournaments with Nigeria. Her leadership, defensive solidity, and attacking contributions have been instrumental in the team’s rise as a dominant force in Saudi women’s football.

Plumptre’s impact extends beyond the pitch, as she has been a vocal advocate for the growth of women’s football in Saudi Arabia. Her decision to stay until 2027 signals her confidence in the league’s potential and aligns with the Saudi Football Federation’s push to elevate women’s football on both domestic and international stages.

With her commitment secured, Al-Ittihad Ladies will look to build on their success, with Plumptre at the heart of their defensive and leadership core.
