Lee's Story … Born in Sheffield, I
played for several local professional clubs at a young age. Then
played at Thomas Rotherham College where I went on to represent my
country in the English Colleges National Squad. I played at a
decent standard after this and made contact with Coach Whalley who
offered me the chance to come and play at Lees Mcrae.
