Guilherme Finkler (born 24 September 1985) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Wellington Phoenix in the A-League. He is known as Guilherme in Brazil and Gui Finkler in Australia and New Zealand.
Finkler was born in Caxias do Sul in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul in 1985.
Finkler has a wife, Karine, and daughter, Rafaela.
Finkler played for Brazilian side Juventude, scoring four times in 15 appearances in the 2006 season. Upon returning from a loan spell at Cianorte he played in three further matches in 2007. Finkler's subsequent Brazilian club was Juventude's Porto Alegre rival, Caxias.
Finkler had a spell in Europe during the 2006–07 season, when he had a trial at the then English Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers. He impressed enough during pre-season games, scoring several goals, that the club took up a season-long loan option. However, he never made a first team appearance in competitive games. After failing to stake a claim in the side, his loan was cut short in January 2007 by mutual consent. Finkler continued his stay in Europe by seeing out the 2006–07 season on loan at Belgian Pro League side Mouscron.
Finkler signed for Melbourne Victory on 22 June 2012, prior to the 2012–13 A-League season.
Finkler made his debut for the Victory in round 1 against crosstown rivals Melbourne Heart. After playing regularly for the Victory, Finkler suffered a season ending injury in round 12 against A-League debutant club Western Sydney Wanderers, when his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) was ruptured in a heavy tackle. Finkler would return to frustrate Western Sydney but the ACL damage required surgery in a new country, with a new language, and rehabilitation for nearly a year. Until his injury, Finkler had been leading the A-League season 2012/13 assists count with eight. He made his return to football in the 2013–14 season.
