Harry Lee (born 22 December 2004) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL League Two club Exeter City.

Early and personal life[]

Lee is a Torquay United fan and season ticket holder; he attended Torquay Academy.[2]

Playing career[]

Lee joined Exeter City when Torquay United closed their academy in 2015.[2] 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.[2] He turned professional at the club in summer 2021.[3] He made his first-team debut in the EFL Trophy, in a 1–1 draw with Chelsea U21 at St James Park.[4] He saved two penalties in a shoot-out victory over Cheltenham Town in the next EFL Trophy game.[5] 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.[6] 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.[7][8]
