After several successful seasons with Wimbledon, powerful midfielder Francis moved to Norwich City and made a good impression including helping them reach the Premiership by winning the Championship in season 2003/2004.
Norwich were relegated at the end of their first season in the Premiership after a disappointing campaign. Francis made the decision to end his two year stay at Carrow Road but remained in the Premiership by securing a transfer to promoted Wigan Athletic.
Despite Wigan's success in finishing 10th in the Premiership and reaching the League Cup final, it was a disappointing spell professionally for Francis, who didn't feature as much as he would have liked to. He signed for newly promoted Watford for a fee of £1,500,000 at the start of the 2006/2007 season.
On debut against Everton, he claimed a goal, only for it to be ruled an own goal by Alan Stubbs by the Premier League's Goals Panel.
