Since 2007, Franchina has played suburban football. From 2007 until the middle of 2011, he played for the Heidelberg Football Club in the Northern Football League, winning their best and fairest in 2008, and winning three premierships with the club.[1] At the end of June 2011, he made a mid-season switch to the Balwyn Football Club in the Eastern Football League.[2] Then he played for Pascoe Vale in the Essendon District Football League in 2012;[3] and for Mornington in the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League in 2013.[4]
