Frankie James Kent (born 21 November 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for League Two club Colchester United. He progressed through the Arsenal Academy prior to joining Colchester's Academy for his two-year scholarship in 2012. He made his professional debut for the club in May 2014.
Born in Havering, Kent attended Shenfield High School, with whom he won the 2008 English Schools' Football Association under-12s Schools Cup for boys. He scored in the final held at Wolverhampton Wanderers' Molineux Stadium, doubling Shenfield High's lead early in the second half.
Kent is a product of the Arsenal Academy, where he progressed through each age group from the age of seven to 16. He was released by Arsenal and went on trial at Colchester United. He then joined Colchester's Academy for his two-year scholarship in 2012. During his scholarship, Kent was named captain of the under-18 side. He was first called into the first-team squad by manager Joe Dunne in December 2013, where he was drafted in as defensive cover over the festive period after Northampton Town loanee Ben Tozer had been recalled from his loan at Colchester by his parent club. During the same season, with the under-18s, Kent helped his side earn a league title and cup winning double. He played in the Youth Alliance Cup final held against Bradford City at Valley Parade on 29 April 2014 as the U's won the game 4–2.
