[edit] 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]
