Liam agreed to join Rugby Town in October 2018 from Southern League Premier side Redditch United.
Affectionately known as Spider, the 33-year-old defender joined the coaching staff at Butlin Road in August 2022.
Popular with supporters and always likely to pop up with a few goals, the centre back had a revival after a couple of injury-affected campaigns as the club won promotion from the UCL Premier Division South as he featured in nearly every game.
Spider was made the player/assistant manager in May 2023 following the exit of Justin Marsden.
Prior to joining Rugby Francis spent the previous three seasons under Valley boss Carl Adams at Stratford Town, scoring seven goals in 139 appearances before opting to join Redditch in the summer of 2018.
Liam started his youth career with Coventry City before spells with Leamington, Redditch, Tamworth and Hednesford which preceeded his stay with Stratford. |
