After having been a key man in Burnley's surge to promotion in 1999-2000, Lenny missed the start of 2000-01's First Division campaign with a knee injury. Once fit he struggled to make the starting line-up following the arrival of Kevin Ball at Turf Moor, although for a while he vied for a place with Paul Cook.

Lenny's best spell in a season came in January when he scored a last-minute equaliser in the FA Cup tie at Scunthorpe United and followed this with a fine performance and a goal against Barnsley.

He was later sidelined again with an achilles tendon injury that required surgery.

Lenny joined Swansea City from Bury in January 2003 on a non-contract basis before signing a one-year deal in July 2003.

He returned to Burnley in March 2004 with a contract to the end of the season.
