He made a total of 14 appearances for Flora, before returning to the Netherlands for the 2003–04 season, when he signed with FC Groningen.

After failing to make any real impact and finding his first-team opportunities limited at the Eredivisie club, Fränkel moved again, this time to Eerste Divisie side Fortuna Sittard. After one season and not much first-team action at the new club, he moved to Fortuna's Eerste Divisie rivals HFC Haarlem. In 2007 Fränkel signed with the Belgian club Antwerp FC.[4] After three years was in summer 2010 released by Antwerp and signed on 4 September 2010 with Topklasse club FC Lisse.[5] After half a year resigned his contract with Lisse and joined Al-Shahaniya of Qatar.[6] On 1 July 2013, he signed with one of Suriname's most successful clubs S.V. Transvaal.
