Along with photos of the book was a message that said, "Thank you @howh_ for sending me a copy of your very own beautiful book, Clever Carmel.

"This is a story that resonates with so many young, mixed-heritage boys and girls.

Plumptre is part of a Leicester City side that is struggling in the Super League this season.

She is expected to return to action when Leicester City welcomes Liverpool in their next league game scheduled for Saturday, April 29, 2023.
