Graeme Lee is a professional footballer currently playing for Doncaster Rovers.

Graeme started his career at Huddersfield town, notching up almost 300 appearances at center back and helping the club secure promotion to League One. In 2003 he was snapped up by former boss Chris Turner for Sheffield Wednesday. He made 37 appearances for Wednesday and scored 5 goals , making him a shining light in one of the Owl's worst ever seasons which lead to him picking up a fan's player of the season award.[1] Lee started the 2004/2005 season in the same vein as he ended the last. Although dogged by injuries at the tail end of the season he was voted defender of the year by fans of the club.[2]

Graeme was deemed as not good enough for the Championship following the side's promotion by Paul Sturrock and signed for Doncaster Rovers from Sheffield Wednesday for £50,000 in 2005. [3] He plays central defence and is Rovers' captain.
