Lee started his career with Scunthorpe United as a young child and went on to make 117 appearances in all competitions scoring three goals between 2000 and 2007. Despite being offered a new 2 year contract by Scunthorpe after their promotion to the Championship in 2007, he opted to stay in League One.
He joined Cheltenham Town signing a three year deal at Whaddon Road. Possibly deciding that he will get a greater regularity of first team football after making only 20 appearances in his final year at Scunthorpe. Weighing in at 11 stone, Ridley is rather slim for a footballer but possesses a killer strength and is also good at set pieces. On 22 November 2007 he joined Darlington on a one-month loan deal. He then joined Lincoln City on a one-month loan deal on 4 January 2008.
He was released by the club along with 7 other players in May 2010.[1]
He signed a two year contract with Grimsby Town on 24 June 2010 as a direct replacement for the departed Joe Widdowson. Ridley was the favoured left back at the club throughout his first season with the club, but during the 2011-12 season he lost his way in the side down to the signing of Jamie Green and coupled with several injury problems this would eventually see him have his contract mutually terminated on 25 November 2011.
On 5 December 2011 he signed with Conference North side Gainsborough Trinity.[2]
