Finch was part of age-group sides at Sussex from the age of 10[1] and made his senior debut in a List A match against the Netherlands on 20 May 2013.[2] He was released by Sussex at the end of the 2020 season[3] and played for Kent's Second XI during the early months of the 2021 season.[4] He made his senior debut for Kent following a member of the county’s First XI squad testing positive for COVID-19 which required the players involved in the county’s previous match to all self-isolate.[5][6] As a result a number of Second XI players or "homegrown prospects"[5] were drafted into the squad and made their senior debuts for the county. He has also played Australian Grade cricket for Yarraville Cricket Club.

Finch was born at Hastings in Sussex in 1995 and was educated at St Richard's Catholic College in Bexhill-on-Sea and Eastbourne College.[4] His father, Jason, played for Sussex's Second XI and List A and Minor Counties Trophy cricket for Sussex Cricket Board.[7]
