On March 7, 2015, it was announced that Fink had signed with USL team Saint Louis FC.[2] He scored his first professional goal on May 9 during a match against Wilmington Hammerheads FC at World Wide Technology Soccer Park, earning a spot on the USL Team of the Week.[3] He was again named to the Team of the Week following his performance in a come-from-behind victory at home against the Charleston Battery on August 20, becoming the first Saint Louis FC player to receive the award twice.[4] Fink played every minute of all 28 games during the 2015 season, one of just two USL players to manage the feat that year.[5]

Fink was released by Saint Louis FC on November 10, 2016.[6]

On November 30, 2016, Fink was signed by fellow USL Western Conference side Oklahoma City Energy FC.[7]

On December 13, 2017, Fink was re-signed by his hometown and debut club, Saint Louis FC for the 2018 season.[8] Saint Louis FC folded following the 2020 USL Championship season.[9]
