Career

Lee started his career as a junior at Doncaster Rovers but made no appearances before joining Northampton Town in July 1995, for whom he made 69 league and cup appearances, scoring ten goals, in four seasons. [1] He joined Gillingham in 1999 for £35,000 but a serious knee operation meant that he missed most of the 1999–2000 season and he joined Rochdale on a one-month loan in October 2000 with a view to a permanent move. [2] However, he did not make an impact and Rochdale decided not to pursue the loan deal. [3] He joined Leyton Orient on loan in March 2001 before signing for Bristol Rovers on a free transfer. [1] [4] Two months later in May 2001, he was released by manager Garry Thompson. [5]

Lee moved into non-league football with Farnborough Town in September 2001. [1] Later in the same month, he joined Rushden & Diamonds on loan for two months and then joined Eastwood Town on a free transfer in November 2001. [1] [6] He re-joined Farnborough Town in January 2002, for whom he scored seven goals in 36 appearances. [1]

Lee joined Halifax Town in May 2003. [7] Manager Chris Wilder said, "He is desperate to get back into League football, where he has spent the majority of his career. He is a very good technical player and one that possibly hasn't reached his potential." [8] He scored six goals in 27 league and cup appearances but was released in April 2005 after missing the whole of the 2004–2005 season due to a recurrence of a chronic back problem in pre-season. [1] [9]

In 2006, Lee was signed up by the sports division of Chinese fashion label Giordano to model their new range of cycling shorts and other lycra sportswear. [10]
