Player Profile:

In 2015-16, midfielder Lee was with Isthmian North side Aveley before moving on to Thamesmead Town. He then played for Cray Wanderers in 2016-17.

Lee joined Margate ahead of 2017-18 and made 45 appearances, including 15 as sub. He made a further 23 appearances in 2018-19, including seven as sub. He scored once for the club - in a 2-2 draw at home to Bath City in an FA Trophy tie on 5.12.17 that Margate lost on penalties.

Lee was released by Margate in December 2018. He joined Isthmian Premier rivals Hornchurch and made his debut for them in a 0-0 draw at Hartsdown on 18.12.18.

However, he only made nine appearances for the Urchins and, after a brief stay at East Grinstead Town, ended 2018-19 with Ashford United. He also played for them during 2019-20.

He was recruited by Ramsgate in summer 2020.

In July 2023 at Woolwich Crown Court, Lee was sentenced to nine years behind bars for conspiracy to supply cocaine and cannabis, and possession of offensive weapons. The court heard he had arranged to buy kilogramme blocks of class A drugs using an illegal mobile phone platform. The heavily-encrypted messaging software had, however, been cracked by international law enforcement agencies. Kent Police were provided with messages that showed Lee was a key member of a drug supply network and would regularly discuss the cost and quality of illegal substances.
