He made his county debut for Middlesex as a 16-year-old in 2005, the youngest to do so since Fred Titmus in 1949, and was earmarked as an England prospect from his early days.When he secured a more permanent position in 2007 he delayed going to university in 2008. He represented England at all age-group levels from Under-16 upwards and his call-up to the senior squad in Bangladesh showed how much he had impressed the right people. He secured a more permanent position in 2007 he delayed going to university in 2008.He enjoyed a solid 2009 season for Middlesex, taking 53 wickets at 30.64 in the Championship and was selected for England Lions' tour to UAE. He impressed enough to be named in England's list of 30 probables for the World Twenty20 but, with a number of others ahead of him, it looked unlikely selection for the senior team would come knocking until the next season. Luckily for him Stuart Broad, Graham Onions and Ryan Sidebottom all picked up injuries at the begging of England's tour of Bangladesh Steven Finn then came into England's attack and started his first match against Bangladesh A and impressed all! His Test debut was three days later and he displayed fantastic pace and bounce from a docile surface. For Finn he was lucky as England were looking for a full time replacement for Steve Harmison, Steven Finn showed an extremely good performance and marked his place with great style. With Lords being his home ground he was able to help England take wickets with a 4 for 100 in the first innings and carried on with his impressive performance for the second innings as he took 5 for 87 to finish with 9 in the game and win the man-of-the-match award and medal in only his third Test. Steven Finn then went down to Australia and pushed his performance forward as he saved the day with a career best 6 for 125 to help turn the outcome of the first Test at the Gabba. With an injured Stuart Broad he helped the jaded England back by performing really well in the second test. He had been rested and has recently been called up for a Test against India as a replacement for James Anderson.
