Her superb performance for Leczna led to an invitation to the national team for the 2022 Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), where she made her debut against Botswana in the group stage.
She also made the squad for the Paris 2024 Olympics but was not featured in Nigeria’s three group games against Brazil, Spain, and Japan.
From Leczan, Macleans joined Lokomotiv Moscow and spent two seasons before her departure.
