Frankie Kent, a professional footballer born on 21 November 1995 in England, has carved a career in the sport as a defender, predominantly positioned as a central defender. Currently, upon the unforgiving turf of the Scottish Premiership, Kent dons the number 2 jersey for Heart of Midlothian, commonly known as Hearts. Standing firm at a height of 6ft 2in (1.88m) and weighing 11st 13lb (76kg), he has emerged as a formidable presence on the field.
According to Transfermarkt, Kent's current market value hovers roughly around £510k.
The pages of Kent's football chronicles were first written at Colchester United, a club in England's League Two. He stepped into the team midst the somber winter of January 2014, marking the years that followed with varying levels of game presence. In his debut season of 2013-2014, he graced the field only once for a league match. The consecutive season saw him make ten appearances, followed by a considerable surge to 26 in the next 2015-2016 season. The graph slightly dipped with 13 appearances in 2016-2017, rising sharply to 27 appearances and two goals in the 2017-2018 League Two season.
July 2019 marked a change as Kent waved goodbye to Colchester United and set foot in Peterborough United, a club in England's League One. His stint at Peterborough witnessed him registering 34 and 30 appearances respectively in the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons. As the scoresheet would suggest, Kent also nodded in one and two goals respectively over these seasons.
In July 2023, following his two-season spell with Peterborough United, Kent braved the waters of the Scottish Premiership, transferring to Hearts for an undisclosed fee. His tenure with Hearts has been quite active so far, featuring 35 appearances in the 2023-2024 season and 18 more in the following 2024-2025 season when he also celebrated two goals. As of the current 2025-2026 season, he has already made 11 appearances.
On the cup front, Kent has been on the move as well. In the Hearts' campaigns for the League Cup, he started four times in 2025-2026, and displayed his commitment once in the Scottish Cup in the same season.
