Tranmere Rovers have announced the signing of midfielder Sam Finley on a two-year deal. The 31-year-old joins the club from Bristol Rovers on a free transfer, as his contract with his previous club was set to expire this month.
Finley had previously spent time with Fleetwood and Accrington before joining Bristol Rovers. During his three years at Bristol Rovers, Finley played a key role in helping the club achieve promotion to League One in 2022. He expressed his excitement about joining Tranmere, citing factors such as the club’s size, stadium, fanbase, and proximity to his family as reasons for his decision.
Tranmere boss Nigel Adkins met with Finley last week to discuss the move and was impressed with the player’s experience and quality. The signing marks the first transfer for Adkins this summer and is seen as a significant boost for the team’s prospects in the upcoming season. Finley is looking forward to contributing to Tranmere’s success and is eager to learn more about Adkins’ plans for the team.
Finley will be available for selection when Tranmere kick off their pre-season campaign against Bolton Wanderers at Prenton Park on July 10th.
The signing of Finley adds depth to Tranmere’s midfield options and gives them an experienced player who has proven himself at a higher level. His ability to control games and dictate play will be crucial in helping Tranmere compete in League One next season.
Finally, Finley’s addition means that Nigel Adkins now has a solid starting lineup that can challenge teams in any league they play in. With other signings expected soon, it looks like Tranmere are building towards something big next season.
