Lee Morris (born April 30, 1980 in Blackpool) is a professional footballer currently with Burton Albion for pre-season hoping to regain fitness after injury. He is a striker. His clubs that he played for were Sheffield United, Derby County, Leicester City, Yeovil Town and a short loan spell at Huddersfield Town. He was born in Blackpool during his father Colin Morris' time with the town's club.
As a Sheffield United player he was a trainee, starting 14 league games and scoring 6 goals. This caught Derby County's attention, and, in the winter of 1999, he transferred to them, for a fee of £3m. During his time at Derby County he scored 17 goals in 63 league games and had a short loan spell at Huddersfield Town.
At the start of 2004 he moved to Leicester City where he started only ten games. His time at the Walkers Stadium was plagued by knee injury, and he was released at the end of the 2005/06 season. Seizing the opportunity, Yeovil Town snapped up Morris on a free transfer on August 2, 2006. He left Yeovil on 11 March 2008, owing to injuries.
