Career

Franke is a product of Dynamo Dresden's youth setup, and was promoted to the first team in 2010. He made his debut in March 2011, when he replaced Sascha Pfeffer in a 3.

Although he came on as a late substitute for Klose in a 3–1 win over Brentford in the EFL Cup in September,^[7] it was announced in December that he would be returning to Dynamo Dresden on loan in the January transfer window for the remainder of the season.^[8]

On 27 June 2018, Franke joined SV Darmstadt 98 on a season-long loan.^[9] On 26 June 2019, Norwich City announced that Franke had joined Hannover 96.^[10]
