Finley Potter (born 14 March 2004) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL League Two club Fleetwood Town.
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.
On 7 May 2025, the club announced it had activated a one-year extension for the player. On 15 July 2025, the club announced a new two year deal for Potter, keeping him at Fleetwood until 2027.
In May 2022, Potter was called up to the England U18 squad, going on to win the Four Nations tournament.
