Former Super Falcons captain Onome Ebi has expressed her admiration for Ashleigh Plumptre, describing her as her worthy successor in the team. Ebi, who wore jersey number 5 during her time with the Super Falcons, has passed on the number to Plumptre, who has inherited it after Ebi’s retirement.
Ebi and Plumptre were part of the Super Falcons squad to the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations and 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Ebi took to social media to celebrate Plumptre, praising her energy, discipline, consistency, and dedication.
“Best replacement for my #5 jersey, which means a lot to me after 20 years. Same birthday 8 May, just a name change from Ebi to Plumptre ⚽️. 5. The energy, discipline, consistency, and dedication are almost the same. I am proud ⚽️. The Legacy continues ✅️,” she wrote on X.
Ebi’s endorsement of Plumptre signals a smooth transition of leadership in the Super Falcons. Plumptre’s impressive performances have earned her a reputation as one of the top defenders in African football, and Ebi’s praise is a testament to her abilities.
