Francisco Javier Guerrero Martín (born 11 March 1996), commonly known as Francis, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays either as a right back or a right winger.
Born in Coín, Province of Málaga, Andalusia, Francis joined Real Betis' youth setup in 2014 from Puerto Malagueño CF.[1] He made his senior debut with the B team on 19 April 2015, coming on as a first-half substitute for Nacho Abeledo in a 0–0 Segunda División B away draw against Real Balompédica Linense.[2]
Francis scored his first senior goal on 21 February 2016, his team's only in a 1–3 loss at Real Jaén.[3] On 15 March of the following year, he renewed his contract with the club.[4]
Francis made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 20 August 2017, replacing Matías Nahuel in a 0–2 away defeat against FC Barcelona.[5] Converted to a right back by manager Quique Setién,[6] he scored his first professional goal the following 17 March by netting the last in a 3–0 home win over RCD Espanyol.[7]
On 31 January 2020, having only featured in one Copa del Rey match during the season, Francis was loaned to Segunda División side UD Almería until June.[8] In October, he was released by Betis.[9]
