Football career

Franco was born in Pina de Ebro, Zaragoza. He spent the vast majority of his career playing in the third and fourth divisions of Spanish football, representing more than ten clubs.

In the 2003–04 season Franco had his first and only La Liga experience, which consisted of two games (13 minutes) for Celta de Vigo in a relegation-ending campaign. During his two-year spell with the Galicians – which brought him a further two appearances in the second level – he was mostly registered with the B-team.
