Career
Ledesma started in Torneo Argentino C with San Jorge.{{cite news|title=Ficha Estadistica de FRANCO LEDESMA|url=http://www.bdfa.com.ar/jugadores-FRANCO-MARTIN-LEDESMA-85284.html|accessdate=10 December 2018|work=BDFA}} In 2012, Ledesma joined Atlético Concepción of Torneo Argentino B, featuring nine times in two years. Moves to Argentinos and Instituto Deportivo Santiago followed, along with twenty-one appearances in 2013 and 2014. Instituto loaned Ledesma to Sportivo Guzmán in 2014.{{cite news|title=San Martín busca puntos en el Consejo|url=https://www.lagaceta.com.ar/nota/610427/deportes/busca-puntos-consejohtml|accessdate=10 December 2018|work=La Gaceta|date=3 October 2014}}{{cite news|title=Vengan 2 puntos más|url=https://www.mundoascenso.com.ar/noticia/33232-vengan-2-puntos-mas|accessdate=10 December 2018|work=Mundo Ascenso|date=17 October 2014}} He returned midway through, subsequently joining Torneo Federal A's Central Córdoba on loan. Appearance two ended drawn with San Martín, though San Martín were later awarded the win due to him being ineligible as his Sportivo Guzmán loan hadn't officially ended.
He departed Instituto permanently in January 2015 to join Mitre, with Ledesma scoring his first goal versus Vélez Sarsfield in the following March.{{cite news|title=Franco, Ledesma y Paglioni se suman a Mitre|url=http://interiorfutbolero.com.ar/franco-ledesma-y-paglioni-se-suman-a-mitre/|accessdate=10 December 2018|work=Interior Futbolero|date=29 December 2014}} Ledesma spent seven months with Sportivo Patria from January 2016, prior to rejoining Mitre in July. Twenty appearances followed in his first campaign back in 2016–17, a season that ended with promotion to Primera B Nacional. He subsequently made his professional football debut, playing the full duration of a 2–0 defeat to Agropecuario on 18 November 2017.{{cite news|title=Franco Ledesma, otro que renovó su vínculo con Mitre|url=http://www.nuevodiarioweb.com.ar/noticias/2017/07/30/104544-franco-ledesma-otro-que-renovo-su-vinculo-con-mitre|accessdate=10 December 2018|work=Nuevo Diario Web|date=30 July 2017}} After a 2019–20 stint with Independiente Rivadavia, Ledesma joined Alvarado in July 2020.{{cite news|title=El defensor Franco Ledesma, otro refuerzo para Alvarado|url=https://www.lacapitalmdp.com/franco-ledesma-otro-refuerzo-para-alvarado/|accessdate=29 August 2020|work=La Capital|date=17 July 2020}}{{cite news|title=Alvarado sumó un nuevo refuerzo: el defensor Franco Ledesma|url=https://quedigital.com.ar/deportes/alvarado-sumo-un-nuevo-refuerzo-el-defensor-franco-ledesma/|accessdate=29 August 2020|work=Qué Digital|date=18 July 2020}}
In 2023, he moved to Chile and played for Deportes Iquique. In 2024, he returned to Argentina and joined Agropuecuario.{{cite news |title=Llegaron tres jugadores al Sojero |url=https://www.mundoascenso.com.ar/noticia/150601-llegaron-tres-jugadores-al-sojero |access-date=15 April 2024 |work=www.mundoascenso.com.ar |date=14 January 2024 |language=es}}
