Charlie Joe Finney (born 28 October 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Buxton on loan from EFL League Two club Crewe Alexandra.
Career
The younger brother of former Crewe midfielder Oliver Finney, Charlie Finney came through Crewe Alexandra's Academy, signing his first professional deal in July 2021.[2]
He made his Crewe debut on 9 August 2022, starting alongside his brother in Crewe's EFL League Cup first round defeat at Grimsby Town.[3] He made his first league appearance as a substitute on 13 September 2022, supplying the cross for Dan Agyei's equaliser in a 1–1 draw at Hartlepool United.[4]
On 4 March 2023, he joined National League North play-off chasers Chorley on a one-month loan deal.[5] Following his return to Crewe, he was included in the starting line-up for the first time, playing 73 minutes of Crewe's 2–0 league win over Walsall on 15 April 2023.[6] At the end of the season, he was offered a new contract by the club,[7] and in June 2023, signed an initial two-year deal, with an option for a further 12 months.[8] He made a dozen appearances, mainly as a substitute, during the first half of the following season, but in December 2023 manager Lee Bell said Finney required surgery on a persistent calf injury.[9]
In September 2024, Finney joined National League North side Buxton on an initial five-week loan deal.[10]
