Career

Finney signed professional terms with Crewe in early 2016 while still a scholar in the club's academy. In December 2016, he joined Nantwich Town on loan.
He made his Crewe debut on 6 May 2017, coming on as a 72nd-minute substitute for James Jones against Barnet at Gresty Road, Crewe's final game of the 2016–17 season. On 9 May 2017, Crewe announced that Finney had been offered a new contract by the club, and he signed a new one-year deal on 11 May 2017.
On 1 September 2017, Finney signed for Northern Premier League team Halesowen Town on a two-month loan deal along with teammate Daniel Udoh, returning to Crewe in November after incurring an injury.
Finney signed a further one-year contract with Crewe in May 2018. He made his first start for Crewe in a Football League Trophy tie against Manchester City under-21s on 25 September 2018, and his first start in a league game at Northampton Town on 3 November 2018.
Offered a new contract by Crewe at the end of the 2018–19 season, Finney agreed a new one-year deal with another year option. On 9 October 2019, Finney scored his first Crewe goal, the equaliser in an EFL Trophy tie at Mansfield Town that finished 1-1; he then scored in the penalty shoot-out that Crewe won 4–3. He scored his first two league goals in a 5–0 win over Morecambe at Gresty Road on 23 November 2019.
A contract extension clause was triggered by Crewe in June 2020.
