Playing career
Exeter City
Lee joined Exeter City when Torquay United closed their academy in 2015.[3] He was named on the Exeter City substitute bench in EFL League Two fixtures during the 2020–21 season at the age of just 15.[3] He turned professional at the club in summer 2021.[4] He made his first-team debut in the EFL Trophy, in a 1–1 draw with Chelsea U21 at St James Park.[5] He saved two penalties in a shoot-out victory over Cheltenham Town in the next EFL Trophy game.[6] Manager Matt Taylor said he would look to let Lee go out on loan into non-League as it was a "big ask" to expect a 16-year old to play in the English Football League.[7] He joined Southern League Premier Division South side Dorchester Town on a one-month loan deal starting on 22 October, after regular custodian Gerard Benfield dislocated his fingers.,[8][9] however Lee was recalled soon after to become Exeter's back-up goalkeeper after the departure of Scott Brown to Rotherham United. Lee made his EFL league debut on the 25 October 2022 as an 88th-minute substitute against Derby County due to an injury picked up by Exeter's regular goalkeeper Jamal Blackman.
In October 2024, Lee returned to Plymouth Parkway on a one-month loan deal,[10] making his debut in FA Cup 4th qualifying round tie, at home to Worthing. In January 2025, he returned to Dorchester Town on a one-month loan deal.[11]
Having been offered a new contract at the end of the 2024–25 season, Lee declined the offer and departed the club.[12]
Crystal Palace
On 15 August 2025, Lee joined Premier League club Crystal Palace.[13]
