Recall that her debut for the team against the Eastern Flames saw her achieve her first hat-trick.
Plumptre’s remarkable ability to score goals, even utilising her weaker right foot for the second goal, speaks volumes about her talent and adaptability on the field.
Her impact as a goal-scoring defender for her new club is extraordinary, tallying an impressive six goals in six matches.
With her outstanding play, Plumptre has already established herself as one of the league’s best defenders, surpassing even the most high expectations for a defender.
“A blessing to experience every moment with this team. Enjoyed my first Derby game with this group and grateful for the hattrick in front of our incredible fans.” she wrote on her social media page.
