Having signed for the Blades for £200,000 from Bradford City, Francis failed to cement a first team place at Bramall Lane. A loan move to Grimsby Town in 2005 was then followed up by another temporary spell at Tranmere.
Right back Francis signed a new three-year contract this summer and has now made over 80 appearances for the club.
