Lee played for
Limerick. He became a selector when
Liam Kearns managed the team between 1999 and 2005, and then was manager for six years. He won the
McGrath Cup and won the
National Football League Division 4 title. He got them promoted to Division Two where he left them with a place in the
Sam Maguire Cup. He went out on a high when he led Limerick to a
Munster Final in 2022. He beat Clare on
penalties then sent off
Tipperary at
Semple Stadium, only for
Kerry to send them into a last-12 outing with
Cork, which they lost. They were ranked 31st of 32 in 2018 and Lee was going to forfeit that year's championship. In his last year with Limerick, Lee was one of the longest serving inter-county managers on the circuit. He was part of the selection committee for a new manager and then the others asked him to do the job. He left his post in August 2022. ==References==
