Fran was born in Surrey, but was living in Wiltshire when she first picked-up a cricket bat.
Fran excelled in the Somerset Youth teams, and hence earned her place in the Somerset Women’s County 1st team in 2006. Fran is a technically adept middle order bat, and an excellent fielder.
Following a fantastic season with the bat in the County Championships in 2010 for Somerset, she was selected for the England Squad in 2011. However a difficult start in International Cricket led to a period in the England Academy, before being selected again as a regular for the England team in 2015.
Fran left Somerset in 2015 to play for Middlesex in the County Championship Div 1, and then moved onto play for Kent in 2020
Fran was a member of the England World Cup (ODI) winning team in 2017, and was also a fixture in the Western Storm team that reached every final’s day during the KIA Super League period, and won the KSL title on two occasions. Fran was also part of the Oval Invincible’s team that won the inaugural Hundred trophy in 2021.
Fran retired from international cricket during 2021, and has since returned to professional domestic cricket to play for the Western Storm, and the Welsh Fire.
