Career edit
Born in Durazno, Franco began playing club football with Nacional. After failing to break into the first team, Franco went on loan to Uruguayan Segunda División side Club Sportivo Cerrito. A season later, he joined Cerrito on a permanent basis and helped the club gain promotion to the first division. After scoring 13 goals in 14 matches to lead the 2009 Torneo Apertura, Franco earned a move to Argentine Primera División side Chacarita Juniors in January 2010.[1]
In 2016, Franco joined Primera Division side C.A. Cerro. The following season, he scored 25 goals for the club (the second most in the league).[2]
