Composed, towering defender
Initially signed aged 13, Finley is a powerful figure at the heart of the defence for the EDS.
An England Under-18 international, Finley signed his first professional contract with City in July 2020 and was a key part of the Premier League 2 winning campaign in 2020/21.
Finley was then handed his first team debut in City’s 6-1 Carabao Cup win over Wycombe in September 2021.
He then spent the remainder of the 2021/22 season on loan at Swansea City.
The defender spent the 2023/24 campaign on loan at Stevenage, helping them claim the fourth-best defensive record in the entire division in their first season back in League One.
His progress will continue at Championship side Hull City for the 2024/25 season, with Burns completing a season-long loan move in August 2024.
