Career highlights

Tom Lee (born 2 January 1991) is an Australian rules footballer currently playing for the St Kilda Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He previously played for the Claremont Football Club in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).

Career

Lee was drafted by Adelaide in 2008 AFL Draft from Claremont in the West Australian Football League (WAFL). He returned to Claremont at the end of the 2009 season having not made his AFL debut. He was then recruited by St Kilda prior to the 2013 season, via a trade deal with Greater Western Sydney, who had the recruiting rights to all formerly listed players.[1]

In 2011 and 2012, Lee played in Claremont's WAFL premiership side. He was named the best player on the ground in Claremont's 2012 Foxtel Cup victory over Werribee.[2]

In Round 3, 2013, he played his first game for St Kilda against Greater Western Sydney.

Tom adopted an Australian Shepherd named "Higgins" during the 2014 AFL Silly Season, however Tom is yet to comment on the sound judgement of this decision. Higgins could not be reached for comment and his state of health since the adoption is unknown.
