'I actually cried!': Ashleigh Plumptre reflects on Saudi Arabia move

Ashleigh Plumptre made headlines worldwide last year when she swapped England's Women's Super League for Saudi Arabia's fledgling Saudi Women's Premier League.

After 12 months in Jeddah with Al Ittihad, the 26-year-old sits down for an in-depth discussion with The Asian Game to reflect on her decision and her time in Saudi Arabia.

In a wide-ranging interview, the Leicester native discusses the motivation behind her decision, the power of human connection, her incredible bond with her sister and what she learned about herself - on and off-the-pitch - after her first season in Saudi Arabia.
