Career

Lefranc was signed by Troyes AC at the age of 14, after showing promising signs whilst playing for his youth club at CO Saint-Dizier.[1] in 2005 he moved to the island of Majorca, Spain, where he signed with 3ª - Group 11 club CD Constancia. However, his stay was short, leaving the club after it fell into financial problems, only scoring 3 times in 15 appearances.[1]

Lefranc then travelled to Belgium, where he signed for K.S.K. Ronse, then in the Belgian Second Division.[2] He made his debut for the club in a game against Meerhout[3] Once more, his stay was short only lasting 13 games for the return of 2 goals.

He then signed for 2 clubs in the space of 12-months with Royal Mouscron-Péruwelz, making 8 appearances, and US Boulogne where his contract was terminated without playing a single game.

In 2008, Lefranc moved abroad once more, this time to Cyprus, where he signed with Cypriot Third Division club ASIL Lysi. However, this was once more an unsuccessful move, as he only made 7 appearances, scoring once.[1]

Moving back to Europe, he signed a short-term contract with FC Baulmes in the 1.Liga. He was then signed by R.E. Virton in the Belgian Third Division B, on a 2-year contract.[4] However, he was controversially dropped from the first XI to the reserve squad half way through his contract. Lefranc claims he was only notified by text message.[4]

Lefranc was hoping to go out on loan, to FC Bleid, however due to financial reasons, R.E.Virton refused to let him go, and at the end of the season, Lefranc moved abroad for a third time, this time out to Singapore, with professional outfit Etoile FC in the S.League, where he signed a 1-year contract.[5]

Lefranc made his debut for the Clementi Stars in the opening round 2-0 victory over Geylang United.
