Club career


Having played football in his native Nigeria with FC Hearts Abuja, Francis took the opportunity to train at Bayern Munich's facilities in July and August 2021, after he was selected as one of the FC Bayern World Squad members.[2] He had already had contact with the German side after playing at the Bayern Youth Cup in 2019, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria, he was unable to sign at the time.[citation needed]

Following an impressive showing with the World Squad, in which he was named captain, he signed a three-year contract in August 2022.[3] In signing for Bayern, he became the Bavarian club's first ever Nigerian player.[4] Immediately after signing for Bayern, he was loaned to affiliate club Austria Klagenfurt in Austria.[5]


International career


Francis has represented Nigeria at under-17 level.[6]
