Born & raised in Edinburgh, with a stint in the Army cadets fuelling his ambition to join the military, Finlay joined the Army after completing the RMA Sandhurst programme. Originally commissioned into 4 SCOTS, and then sent on the Platoon Commanders Battle Course in Brecon, Finlay deployed onto Op Herrick 14, followed by Op HERRICK 19 & Op SHADER 6 in Iraq. Continuing his passion for fitness as he gained rank, Finlay applied for the 2024 season of The Gladiators. Pitted against elite athletes and former international rugby players, Finlay returned from a broken rib to be crowned the Male Champion.
