One of several promising youngsters on the books at Bury, Lee continued his development in the club's reserve team in 2000-01 stepping up to make two senior appearances.
He featured in an unaccustomed right-back role in the LDV Vans Trophy tie against Chesterfield in January, and then appeared as a second half substitute in the Shakers' 3-0 home win over Swansea City in March when he played in the centre of defence and scored Bury's third goal.
