In 2016, it was reported that Francis had requested a transfer of allegiance to Great Britain;^[4] as a citizen of an overseas territory, Francis is entitled to compete for Great Britain under the same rules as Shara Proctor, Delano Williams and Zharnel Hughes. Unlike these athletes, however, Francis needed to serve a period out of competition, having represented another full national team, Antigua and Barbuda. On 5 April 2017 IAAF confirmed that Francis' transfer of allegiance was complete and that Francis was registered and eligible to compete for Great Britain 'with immediate effect'.^[5]
