Biography

Experienced defender Finney amassed over 100 games for Maidstone United and joins the Sports after two seasons at Ebbsfleet United. A composed and assured centre-back, the towering 6ft 4in defender came through Leyton Orient’s youth ranks before signing for Bolton Wanderers, making his senior debut in the Championship in 2016. Later that year, he signed for Queens Park Rangers, from where he joined Maidstone United on loan in August 2017.

He was named the club’s player of the year before being signed on a permanent two-year deal. He made over 100 appearances for the Stones. Finney moved on to Aldershot Town at the end of 2018, extending his deal at the EBB Stadium in 2020. He then joined Ebbsfleet United for the start of the 2021/22 campaign and although he spent part of his first season injured, he returned to feature in the club’s run to the promotion final before helping Fleet win promotion to the National League in 2022/23.

Last season, Finney’s time on the pitch was restricted by injury – including a season-ending injury in March 2024 after rupturing his patellar tendon away at Truro City. However, after completing his recovery, he re-joined the Sports in December 2024.
