In January 2014, Kent began his journey into professional football when he joined Colchester United in League Two in England. Kent started modestly, making a single first team appearance in the 2013-2014 season. His growth was notable, and he began to secure more appearances in the starting lineup as the seasons rolled forward, making 10 appearances in 2014-2015 and 26 in 2015-2016. By 2016-2017, Kent was a regular feature of the team, starting in 13 league matches, and 27 in 2017-2018, scoring twice during this last season.
In the year 2019, Kent embarked on a new chapter and transferred from Colchester United to Peterborough United in England for an undisclosed fee. It was another productive time for Kent, where he made 34 first team appearances and scored a goal in the 2021-2022 season. The following 2022-2023 season saw him make 30 first team appearances and net two goals.
Moving forward, Frankie Kent signed with Hearts in the Premiership in Scotland in July 2023, with an undisclosed fee involved. The move to Scotland evidently suited Kent, as he took to the field in 35 league matches in the 2023-2024 season. The following 2024-2025 season, he made 18 first team appearances and scored twice. As of the current 2025-2026 season at Hearts in Scotland, Kent has already carved his mark, making four first-team appearances.
Aside from league football, Frankie Kent has also participated in cup tournaments - namely the League Cup 2025-2026 for Hearts, with four starts, and Scottish Cup 2024-2025 for Hearts, with one appearance as a substitute.
