Francis had been in charge of Total Motion Midland League Division One side Heath Hayes since January 2019.

A well-travelled player able to perform in defence or attack, Francis joined Heath Hayes from Hinckley AFC, where he had been since November 2016.

Jamaican-born, he signed for Hinckley from Hednesford Town, where he had been since March 2016.

Since then, he has played for the likes of Barwell, Tamworth, Chasetown and Hednesford, making more than 100 appearances for the Pitmen across two spells.

Francis' first game in charge of Sporting will be against Littleton on Saturday, 5th October.
