His first game as a Football League referee was Northampton Town v Torquay United.
A few years later, in 2007, Lee was successful in getting promoted to Select Group 1, which allowed him to referee matches in the English top flight. Three years later, Lee was appointed to referee the FA Trophy Final at Wembley Stadium. In 2010, Lee was awarded a place on the list of FIFA referees, allowing him to officiate in some of the greatest competitions and stadiums across the world. In 2011 Lee was selected to be the fourth official for the FA Cup final between Stoke City and Manchester City, but he went one further when he was chosen to officiate Arsenal’s 3-2 victory over Hull City in the 2014 FA Cup Final.
Following a period of successive injuries, Lee hung up his whistle in 2019 and brought his 32-year refereeing career to an end.

Our Partnerships
Partnerships are often formed between individuals, agencies or organisations with a shared interest to address specific issues. Our evidence reveals that our members young and old often require mental, emotional, financial, medical help, support and guidance. The Referees’ Association champion the work of those agencies that provide this support in times of need. Should you require support please contact the relevant agency below or the RA Head Office.
