Throughout his career he played for five clubs in the Scottish Football League, before turning Junior in 2011 and having a two-year spell in the US with Kitsap Pumas between 2014 and 2016.

Career

Finlayson started his career at Queen's Park where he progressed from the Boys club through to become a regular in the first team playing over 50 games before turning professional with Ross County.

Only playing about a dozen games with the Staggies, Finlayson was loaned back to Queen's Park before re-signing for them permanently in 2000.

After leaving the Spiders, he signed for Stranraer where he played well over 100 times as a right Winger/forward.

After helping Stranraer to promotion at the expense of Greenock Morton, he signed for the Cappielow club on a Bosman free transfer on 31 May 2005, signing along with 3 others (Andy McLaren, Derek Lilley and Alex Walker).[1]

During his five years at Cappielow, Finlayson featured in a variety of roles, including right back, right wing back, right midfield, centre midfield, left midfield and up front.

He was released by Morton at the end of the 2009–10 season,[2] and subsequently signed for Clyde.[3] He made 35 appearances in all competitions for the Bully Wee, before leaving the club in May 2011, after turning down a new contract.
