Lee was a product of the Toronto FC academy programme.[1]
In 2016, Lee began playing for League1 Ontario side Sigma FC, making five appearances that season.[2] He returned to Sigma the following year, making another five appearances and scoring one goal.[3] In 2018, Lee made eleven league appearances for Sigma and made a further three appearances in the playoffs.[4]
In 2019, Lee joined defending League1 Ontario champions Vaughan Azzurri. He made nine league appearances for Vaughan that season, scoring one goal.[5] Lee also played 90 minutes in both legs of Vaughan's Canadian Championship series against professional club HFX Wanderers.[6]
On 13 August 2019, Lee signed his first professional contract with Canadian Premier League side HFX Wanderers after impressing against them in the Canadian Championship.[1] On 28 August 2019, he made his debut for Wanderers against Valour FC.[6] On 14 December 2019, the club announced that Lee would not be returning for the 2020 season.[7]
On 29 January 2020, Lee signed with FC Edmonton.[8] In an interview, Lee stated that hoped to be utilized as a left-back for Edmonton, rather than a centre-back, which is where he played in Halifax.[9] He went on to make two appearances for Edmonton during the shortened 2020 season.[6]
On 18 March 2021, Lee signed with Pacific FC.[10] The next month on April 29, Pacific announced Lee would miss the entire 2021 season after sustaining a ruptured Achilles tendon in training.[11] In January 2022 Pacific announced Lee would be departing the club.[12]
