Franco was born in Pina de Ebro, Province of Zaragoza. He spent the vast majority of his career playing in the third and fourth divisions of Spanish football, representing more than ten clubs.
Franco had his first and only La Liga experience in the 2003–04 season, which consisted of two matches (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 their reserves.
