The pictures that go with the post, show her signing the contract, clutching a shirt bearing her name and the year 2027, and donning the Al-Ittihad Ladies jersey.
After being a free agent at Leicester City, Plumptre, a Nigerian national team player and former England youth international, joined Al-Ittihad Ladies.
Plumptre's signing was part of a trend that shows increased interest in Saudi football abroad.
This comes after Plumptre welcomes her Super Falcons of Nigeria teammate Francisca Ordega to the Al-Ittihad Ladies.
Plumptre is expected to earn a recall to the Super Falcons fold for the next international break.
