Sam Finley

Finley was first picked up as a youth by Everton, where he stayed until he was 16. Finley would then play for non-league clubs Southport and Warrington, before being released by the latter. Following this, Finley was signed by Welsh Premier League side The New Saints. He would spend 5 years at the Welsh club, making appearances in Champions League qualifying against Legia Warsaw and Anderlecht during his time there. He also won the Welsh Premier League with TNS four years in a row, along with 2 Welsh Cup victories and 1 Welsh League Cup. In February 2015, he was loaned to Conference side Wrexham. In August 2015, Finley would move to AFC Fylde on a free transfer. He stayed at the club for 3 years, eventually becoming club captain. On 29 June 2018, Finley signed a 2-year contract with League One side Accrington Stanley. He made his debut for the club on his 26th birthday, coming off of the bench in a 0–2 home defeat to Gillingham. In April 2020, Finley picked up an 8 match ban as a result of an investigation around a comment made to Rochdale's former Irish international Paul McShane, during a League One fixture on New Year's Day 2020, regarding McShane's nationality. On 15 September 2020, Finley left Accrington Stanley by mutual consent and became a free agent. His previous 8 match ban was cited as a reason for the decision.
