A three-time all-conference selection, Francis was named the GLIAC’s Player of the Year in 1996 and 1997. During the 1996 season, Francis also earned First-Team All-America honors, another first for the Mercyhurst program.

In 1998, Francis was selected to be a part of the Caribbean All-Star Team to play against the Jamaica World Cup Soccer Team. He then went on to play professionally with the Cincinnati Riverhawks of the A-League.

In 2003, he became an assistant Men’s Soccer coach at West Virginia Wesleyan College and in April 2005, he added the West Virginia Wesleyan’s women’s program to his repertoire. Within four years he has turned the program back into a regional power, winning the conference title the last two years and getting a berth to the NCAA tournament.
