Career
[edit]Hull City
[edit]Plummer signed his first professional contract, a two-and-a-half-year deal, with Championship side Hull City in December 2006 after beginning his career with the club as a trainee in 1998 along with Will Atkinson, James Bennett, and Nicky Featherstone.[1] Although the centre-back never played for Hull's senior team, he was a regular in their reserve team. Plummer was also an unused substitute in Hulls' senior games in the tie against Watford in the League Cup in 2006 and Middlesbrough in the FA Cup in 2007. His contract with Hull expired during the summer of 2009 and he subsequently left the club.

Plummer made his debut for Darlington on 8 August 2009 against Aldershot coming on as a 74th-minute substitute.[2] He also featured against Leeds United in the League Cup, again coming off the bench. Plummer made his full debut for Darlington on 18 August 2009 against Crewe Alexandra.[3] During this time, Plummer was a winner of the 'crossbar challenge' conducted by the football show Soccer AM.[4] Having played eight league games, manager Steve Staunton released him from his contract along with two other first team players, David Knight, and James Bennett in December 2009.[5]
