WELCOME TO THE TUDORS | Marshall Francis

Hemel Hempstead Town Football Club is delighted to announce the arrival of exciting young attacker Marshall Francis!

Marshall joins us after an exciting start in football through Sheffield United's youth system - and we're very excited to be his first big step into men's football.

"Marshall was put to us earlier in the summer and it was a deal that caught my eye. He is a name I know and have watched a fair bit of, and so when there was a chance for us to sort something out we felt like it was a good opportunity for us." He is quick, loves to make runs off the shoulder, and so he gives us something a little bit different in terms of our energy at the top end of the pitch. Last season, I feel we perhaps lacked that direct-to-goal runner that wanted to stretch teams and make runs into space, but Marshall will do that."

"He is definitely a project, as he is still extremely new to first-team football. However, he is out of a good stock from one of the best academies in the Football League at Sheffield United, did well for The Blades’, and was beginning to attract real attention at youth level." - JOE POPE - HEAD OF RECRUITMENT

Welcome to the Tudors, Marshall - we can't wait to see you in a Tudor shirt! 🤩
