Playing career

Plummer played for Queens Park Rangers (QPR), Bristol Rovers, Barnet, Peterborough United, Grays Athletic and Rushden & Diamonds.

Plummer made his QPR début in May 1996 versus Nottingham Forest and played 62 league games and scored two goals before leaving Loftus Road for Barnet in 2003.

In December 2006, he retired aged 30 to work in financial services subsequently working for Tortoise Property in Hampton, Peterborough. He played semi-professional football for Peterborough Northern Star in the United Counties League, until May 2009, when he was announced as the new manager of Northern Star, following Tommy Cooper's move from the dug-out to the board room as he became the club's new Director of Football.[2] He left the club in May 2012.[3]

Coaching career

On 12 September 2012, he was named manager of Corby Town.[4] However, following two poor displays at the start of the 2013–14 season Plummer tendered his resignation at Corby Town.[5]

In January 2023, Plummer followed manager Jimmy Dean to Scunthorpe United as his assistant manager having held the same role at Peterborough Sports, whom Plummer had previously managed.[6]
