But now he's now made an epic return to the pitch as part of Banbury Utd's team.
Sharing the news on Instagram, Finley said: "Buzzing to have signed for Banbury Utd!
"Couldn’t be happier to finally get back to doing something I love doing.

Before Love Island Finley played as a semi-professional footballer for non-league club Oxford City, as well as Milton Keynes Dons.
The hunk took part in the ITV2 dating show in 2020 as part of the show's first ever winter series in South Africa.
After being crowned winners, they moved in together during the coronvirus lockdown and then moved into a swanky apartment in Manchester together.
