Frankie Kent

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

Frankie Kent, born on the 21st of November 1995 in England, is a robust and competent defender known for his primary role as a central defender for Hearts. Standing at 6ft 2in (1.88m) and weighing 11st 13lb (76kg), his imposing physicality is complemented by his command of the number 2 jersey.

According to Transfermarkt, Kent’s current market value is roughly £1m. His pact with Hearts is scheduled to run its course and terminate on 31st May 2026, having just over a year and three months remaining.

Kent’s professional journey pitch-side started with his transfer to Colchester United of League Two in England in January 2014. The 2013-2014 season saw Kent taking to the field in league matches only once, with the following season witnessing him making ten similar appearances. As the seasons wore on, Kent’s pitch time significantly increased, with 26 appearances in the 2015-2016 season and 13 in the 2016-2017 season. Kent's final season with Colchester United, 2017 - 2018, saw him making 27 first team fixtures and scoring his first two goals in league matches.

In July 2019, Kent was transferred to Peterborough United of League One in England for an undisclosed fee. His stint at Peterborough garnered him significant playtime, making 34 first-team league appearances in the 2021-2022 season and scoring a goal. In the subsequent season (2022-2023), he made 30 first-team appearances and struck the back of the net twice.

A move to Scotland’s Hearts from Peterborough United materialised in July 2023, again for an undisclosed fee. Performing his services under the Hearts banner, Kent made 35 appearances in the 2023-2024 season. In the current season (2024-2025), Kent has already made 13 first-team appearances and scored two goals.

On top of his formidable league performance, Kent also represented Hearts in the Europa League Qualifiers during the 2024-2025 season with two starts, as well as in the Conference League the same season, where he led the line five times.
