Before he signed a professional contract with Brann, he was eligible to play in Tippeligaen as he was listed on the team's B-list.[4] He was wanted by Dutch club NEC Nijmegen and Ole Gunnar Solskjær's club Molde,[5] but Finne signed a professional contract for Brann in September 2012.[6] He his first two goals in Tippeligaen in the match against rivaling club Rosenborg on 23 September 2012.
