Early life

[edit | edit source]

Fransman was born in Cape Town,[2] and grew up in the Fairways neighbourhood.[3] His father Paul was also a footballer, having played for St Athens and Battswood.[3]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Fransman played junior football for Battswood, Cape Town Spurs and FC Fortune.[3] He made one South African Premier Division appearance for Mother City.[3] After playing for FC Fortune in the 2001–02 season, Fransman signed for Belgian First Division club Mouscron alongside fellow FC Fortune players Giovanne Rector and Asanda Sishuba in summer 2002, and made his debut away to Standard Liège on 8 August 2002.[4][5]

On 28 July 2008 it was announced that Fransman had signed for Maccabi Netanya on a four-year deal.[6]

Bloemfontein Celtic

In June 2014 it was confirmed that Fransman had transferred to Bloemfontein Celtic.[9]

Highlands Park

[edit | edit source]

In June 2018, Fransman rejected a new Maritzburg United contract and signed for newly promoted Highlands Park.[10] He signed a two-year contract with the club, with Fransman saying that he "got a solid two-year deal" and that "at my age, if you turn that down, you'd be a fool" during his unveiling at the club.[11]

He signed a new short-term deal with Highlands Park in July 2020 until the end of the 2019–20 season, which was prolonged due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[12]

Following the end of the 2019–20 season, Highlands Park's top flight status was sold to TS Galaxy with Fransman's contract initially not renewed, leading to Fransman contemplating retirement in October 2020.[13]
