Finley Potter (born 14 March 2004) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL League Two club Fleetwood Town.

Career

Potter came through the academy of Sheffield United, being rewarded with a scholarship deal in August 2020. His deal started in unfortunate circumstances, missing eighteen months through injury before his return to action in February 2022.

In February 2023, he joined National League club Barnet on loan for the remainder of the season. Following a successful spell, he returned for a season-long loan ahead of the 2023–24 season, being recalled in February 2024.

On 1 February 2024, Potter joined League One club Fleetwood Town on an eighteen-month contract with the option for a further year. He made his debut on the final day of the season, as already relegated Fleetwood won 3–0 against Burton Albion.
