Ashleigh Plumptre helped Leicester City win the FA Women's Championship to earn promotion to the Super League
Former England youth defender Ashleigh Plumptre says she would play for Nigeria at senior international level - if the West African country came calling.
The 23-years-old, who plays for newly-promoted Women's Super League (WSL) side Leicester City, is eligible to play for the Super Falcons because of her father's Nigerian heritage.
Having helped guide the Foxes to the FA Women's Championship title in 2020/21, Plumptre was voted player of the season and rewarded with a new two-year deal.
