Findley was called into camp for Trinidad & Tobago’s U23 National Team, and was not part of the United States youth soccer teams. He was also a strong regional player for Oregon State in college, not breaking into the national awards picture, but honored by the Pac-10 Conference.
Drafted by Los Angeles in 2007, Findley played all of three months for the club before being traded to Real Salt Lake as part of the Chris Klein deal. He has played well for an underperforming team, scoring five goals in 15 games, and two in nine games for the Galaxy.
An outside candidate for MLS Rookie of the Year in 2007, Findley made his National Team debut coming on in the final minute of the 1-0 exhibition win in Switzerland in October, 2007. His strong play at MLS level got him a call-up to the 2010 National Team camp. He took full advantage, making the squad and becoming Jozy Altidore's strike partner in South Africa. After choosing not to re-sign with Major League Soccer, Findley was picked up by Nottingham Forest in late December, 2010.
