July 14, (THEWILL) – Leicester City Women have officially announced the departure of Ashleigh Plumptre, the talented Super Falcons’ star, as her contract with the club expired.
25-year-old Plumptre made a notable impact during her time at King Power Stadium, accumulating 23 appearances across various competitions in the 2022/2023 season.
Having joined Leicester City in 2020 after completing her Human Biology degree at the University of Southern California’s USC Trojans, she played a pivotal role in the team’s achievement of winning the Barclays Women’s Championship title in 2021, followed by their successful debut seasons in the women’s top flight. With a total of 79 appearances in Leicester City blue, the defender leaves Belvoir Drive with gratitude from LCFC Women and well wishes for her future endeavours.
In an official statement released on Thursday, the club shared their appreciation for Plumptre’s invaluable contributions: “LCFC Women would like to thank Ashleigh for her contribution during the last four seasons and wish her well in the next phase of her career.”
