Thomas Franck (born 24 February 1971) is a German former professional footballer who played as a midfielder . [1]
Football career
Franck was born in Heppenheim . He made his professional debuts with SV Waldhof Mannheim on 12 May 1989 at the age of 18, playing 12 minutes in a 3–4 home loss against VfB Stuttgart , with the club then in the Bundesliga (it would be his only appearance of the season , and he played in 18 matches more the following campaign , which ended in relegation).
In the 1990 summer, he moved to Borussia Dortmund , helping to the club's domestic consolidation in his first seasons, and also contributing with five matches in its 1992–93 UEFA Cup runner-up run, scoring in a 7–2 home drubbing of Floriana FC in the first round. He was, however, only a fringe player when the team won back-to-back national championships (only 20 matches combined), leaving the club in June 1996.
Franck subsequently signed for 1. FC Kaiserslautern , winning consecutive league titles, one in each of the two major levels . In the 1997–98 topflight campaign , however, he appeared in no matches, due to injuries. In the following years, he appeared with three teams in different divisions – including former side Waldhof – with no impact whatsoever (he was also sidelined for the entirety of 1998–99), finally retiring from football at the age of 33.
