Lee Rochester Sørensen (born 30 April 1994) is a Danish footballer of Jamaican descent,[1] who plays as a forward for Norwegian club Raufoss IL.

Career[]

Rochester, who is of Danish-English parentage and has roots in Jamaica, started his career in the youth department of Velo. When he was 15, after playing for Team Lolland, he was scouted by HB Køge and eventually joined their football academy.[2]

On 9 April 2010, Rochester made his debut in the Danish 1st Division in a match against Hobro IK, thereby breaking the record of being the youngest player to represent HB Køge, at 16 years old.[3] Rochester signed a three-year contract extension to keep him in Køge until 2015 on 27 June 2011.[4]

On 31 January 2014, Rochester signed a contract with Lyngby Boldklub. But in the summer of 2015, he had his contract canceled, because he was disappointed with the lack of games he has played.[5] On 22 September 2015, Rochester signed a contract with FC Vestsjælland. He made his debut for the club on 23 September in the Danish Cup third round against F.C. Copenhagen. On 4 October he scored his first goal for Vestsjælland in a league match against FC Helsingør. The game ended 3-0, and was the first win for his club in the 2015-16 season. Following FC Vestsjælland's bankruptcy on 30 November 2015 Rochester was without a club. He signed a contract with his former club HB Køge on 13 February 2016.

On 12 January 2019, Rochester signed for Norwegian club Nest-Sotra Fotball.[1] His contract was terminated on 20 August 2019.[6] On the last day of the summer transfer market, 2 September 2019, Rochester returned to Denmark and joined 1st Division club FC Roskilde.[7] He left the club at the end of the year where his contract expired.[8]

Personal life[]

Lee's older brother Marc plays for Silkeborg IF.
