There will be another new face at Apperley Bridge on Tuesday when the players report back for pre-season training after Stuart McCall signed former Doncaster Rovers' defender Graeme Lee on a 2-year deal.

Lee started his career at Hartlepool United, notching up almost 300 appearances at centre back and helping the club secure promotion to League One. He also played as a striker for Pools, scoring twenty goals for the club.

In 2003, he was snapped up by former boss Chris Turner for Sheffield Wednesday. He made 37 appearances for Wednesday and scored five goals in his first season and took up the captain's arm band when Dean Smith was injured, this made him a shining light in one of the Owl's worst ever seasons which led to him picking up a fans' player of the season award. He started the 2004-05 season in the same vein as he ended the last. Although dogged by injuries at the tail end of the season he was voted defender of the year.

Lee was deemed as not good enough for the Championship following the side's promotion by Paul Sturrock and signed for Doncaster Rovers for £50,000 in 2005. He was Rovers' captain and scored the winning goal in extra time in their 3-2 win over Bristol Rovers in the 2007 Johnstone's Paint Trophy final at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

On 14 February 2008, Lee returned to former club Hartlepool United on loan for one-month.

Following his return to the Keepmoat Stadium, he was loaned out again,  to Shrewsbury Town until the end of the season. He was recalled with two games remaining, after a series of injuries had left Rovers short of defensive cover.
