Frankie Kent is a born-and-bred Englishman, hailing from the land on 21 November 1995 which makes him a youthful 29 years of age. As a footballer, he finds his footing as a central defender, notably for the Hearts football team. His imposing figure stands at 6ft 2in (1.88m), making him a tower of strength on the pitch. Completing his athletic physique, he weighs in at 11st 13lb (76kg), sporting the number 2 jersey on his back.
On the transfer market, Kent's current value is sized up to be around £700k according to Transfermarkt. Undoubtedly bringing value to Hearts, his contract remains operative until the 31st day of May, 2026, having about 11 months left to run its course.
Kent began his footballing journey in January 2014 when he joined Colchester United in England's League Two. Within his debut season in 2013-2014, Kent humbly made a single first team appearance in league matches, seemingly dipping his toes into the waters of professional football. In the 2014-2015 season, ten first team appearances were credited to Kent, followed by 26 and 13 appearances in the following two seasons, respectively. The 2017-2018 season saw Kent not only make a satisfactory 27 appearances but also score two goals, highlighting his defensive capabilities as well as his attacking potential.
July 2019 marked a change in Kent's career; he transferred from Colchester United to Peterborough United, a team partaking in England's League One. His value and skill on the field certainly didn't go unnoticed. As proof, Kent made 34 first team appearances and scored an applauded single goal within the 2021-2022 season. The 2022-2023 season was no different, in which Kent claimed 30 appearances along with two scored goals.
In July 2023, yet another transfer saw Kent shift from the English to Scottish football, moving to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership for an undisclosed fee. His presence was immediately felt as he rendered 35 first team appearances in his debut season. The next season, although shortened to 18 appearances due to reasons undisclosed, did see Kent score two goals. As the current season of 2025-2026 unfolds, we are yet to see Kent make his first appearance.
Apart from league matches, Kent has also had the honour to participate in the League Cup 2025-2026 for Hearts, where he marked three starts. Further to this, he had one appearance as a substitute in the Scottish Cup 2024-2025, and five starts in the Conference League 2024-2025. This showcases Kent's versatility and his ability to adapt to various footballing formats.
