Waylon Dwayne Francis Box (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈwailoɱ ˈfɾansis]; born 20 September 1990 in Limón) is a Costa Rican footballer who currently plays as a left-back for Columbus Crew SC in Major League Soccer.
Waylon Francis began his career in the youth system of Deportivo Saprissa. He made his First Division debut with Brujas on January 13, 2011 in a match against Barrio México. After a brief stay with Brujas he joined Limón, remaining only for one season with the Caribbean club. In 2012, he joined Herediano. He scored the first goal of his career playing for Herediano at Estadio Rommel Fernandez in Panama against Tauro FC in the 2012-13 CONCACAF Champions League. He was a high-profile subject of racist slants in a game against Cartaginés, prompting the referee to stop the game.
His play with Herediano in the Champions League drew the attention of Major League Soccer club Columbus Crew SC who made him the club's first signing for the 2014 season. Francis made his MLS and club debut on March 8, 2014 in a 3-0 victory over D.C. United. He missed the end of the 2016 season after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder in early October.
Waylon Francis was part of Costa Rica's Under-23 side. He made his debut with the full national teams during the 2013 Copa Centroamericana against Nicaragua and was a non-playing squad member at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
