Super Falcons star Plumptre gets heroic welcome at new club Al-Ittihad

Super Falcons defender, Ashleigh Plumptre received a warm welcome from her Al-Ittihad teammates as she trained with them for the first time.

Plumptre linked up with the Saudi Arabia Professional Football Women’s League side this week.

The Nigerian has been assigned jersey number 22 by her new club.
