Frankie Kent

Frankie Kent of Heart of Midlothian was born in Romford, England on 21 November 1995 (age 29).

Frankie Kent, birthed on the 21st of November, 1995 in England, trades his footballing talents as a central defender for Hearts in Scotland. This fellow, who tips the scale at 11 st 13 lb (76 kg) and towers at a height of 6ft 2in (1.88m), adorns the No.2 jersey for his club.

Apart from his height and weight on the pitch, Kent possesses a market value of roughly £770k, as Transfermarkt so generously estimates. His current contract with Hearts is timed to elapse on the last day of May in the year of 2026, leaving us with 1 year and 2 months until that day of decison.

Our tale of Kent’s footballing career takes us back to January 2014 when he set foot in Colchester United, a club from England's League Two. His first season (2013-2014) witnessed him stepping onto the pitch for one league match. This modest debut was followed by an increasingly active participation in the seasons to come. He made ten appearances in the 2014-2015 season, 26 in the 2015-2016 season, 13 in the 2016-2017 season, and another 27 in the 2017-2018 season, even managing to find the back of the net twice in the latter.

In July 2019, this lad from England moved courses from Colchester United to Peterborough United in League One, for a fee known only to the relevant parties. During the 2021-2022 stretch, he saw action in 34 matches and firmed his grip on the ball, managing to score once. The 2022-2023 season saw him appear on a slightly fewer 30 occasions, but featured him scoring twice.

It was in July 2023 that Kent packed his bags from Peterborough United and set sail for the Scottish Premiership, citing Hearts as his new home. His first season (2023- 2024) in the far north had him appear in 35 league matches. The current season (2024-2025) has so far witnessed him in action on 13 occasions, with even a pair of goals to mark his third season of professional football in Scotland.

Noteworthy, indeed, is his participation in both the Europa League Qualifiers and the Conference League for Hearts in the 2024-2025 season, where he graced each tournament with two and five starts respectively.
