Connacht
Finn became part of the academy of his native provincial team Connacht Rugby in 2011. He was part of Connacht's U20 side that won the 2011 Inter Provincial title, scoring a match-winning try against Leinster U20s in Donnybrook.[1] During his time in the academy, Finn played for the province's second tier side, the Connacht Eagles in the British and Irish Cup.[5]
In April 2014, Finn signed a one-year professional contract with the province. The deal saw him promoted to the senior squad ahead of the 2014–15 season, and runs until the end of that year. Finn was promoted alongside fellow academy players Finlay Bealham and Darragh Leader, both of whom had previously been capped for the province at senior level.[6]
International
Finn has represented Ireland internationally at under-age level. He played for the Ireland Under-20s in both the 2012 Six Nations Under 20s Championship and 2012 IRB Junior World Championship.[1]
