Lancaster born Lee started under Jim Harvey at Morecambe in 2003 as a youngster, eventually making it to the first team, and making nine appearances. In 2006 he moved along the coast to Fleetwood, before rejoining Jim Harvey this time at Forest Green Rovers in 2007. He went on to make forty appearances and score three goals, despite a loan spell at Leek Town. A season at Lancaster City where he was ever present and scored 18 goals, before returning to Fleetwood at the start of the 2009/2010 season. Having made 1 appearance for Fleetwood, he was sent on loan first back to Lancaster, and then to Vauxhall Motors, before returning to Jim Harvey's stewardship, this time with us.
