Hartlepool United winger captains country during another successful stint on international duty
Hartlepool United winger Jermaine Francis was part of the Grenada side that thumped the US Virgin Islands 4-1 over the weekend, captaining the team in the second half.
It was another proud moment for the hugely popular wideman, who skippered his country as they extended their winning run to six matches in emphatic fashion.
Francis, who has now won 16 caps for the in-form Spice Boys, was absent for Pools over the weekend while on international duty but is set to be back in contention for Saturday's long trip to Eastleigh.
The 23-year-old has established himself as a fan favourite at Victoria Park after sealing a summer move from Barnet, scoring three times in 18 matches and impressing with his pace, flair and creativity.
While Francis found his opportunities limited as the Bees were crowned National League champions last term, making just five substitute appearances, the tricky winger impressing during a successful spell on loan at Braintree, scoring eight goals in 30 games and finding the net against Pools during a 1-1 draw in February.
Since signing for Pools in July, Francis has proved a hit amongst supporters while interim manager Nicky Featherstone hailed his "unbelievable attitude" after he rushed back from a previous stint on international duty two days earlier than expected following the surprise sacking of former boss Simon Grayson last month.
