Lee was involved in a horrific car crash last week after which he had to be taken to the hospital. The Red Dragons star's Ranger Rover collided head-on with another car and both drivers had to be given medical attention. The player, though, did not suffer any major injuries.

A week after the accident, the midfielder took to social media to share images of his wrecked car and wrote in the caption: "Last Tuesday night I found out just how fragile life is and in the blink of an eye, through no fault of your own, it has the potential to change drastically. Thankfully I had someone looking over me, but I’m well aware of how different the outcome could’ve been. It has been overwhelming to see how much people care and the love and support I have around me with my family and friends.
"It has been a tough week, but I’m feeling very lucky and very grateful. Thank you to the emergency services for all their help and for all the kind messages I have received, it means a lot. And lastly, a huge thank you to @kevmulholland @adermmm and my partner for rushing to my aid and spending all night in the hospital with me. Hoping to be back on the pitch asap."

Lee has been a key figure for the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned club ever since he joined them in 2022. In the 2024-25 campaign, the 30-year-old has scored eight goals and provided four assists across all competitions and is the team's highest goal-scorer at the moment.
