Born in Whitechapel, London,[1] Lee started his career with the Tottenham Hotspur youth system in 2003.[2] He signed a professional contract with the club in July 2005.[1] He appeared on the first team bench for the first time in the UEFA Cup tie against Slavia Prague on 28 September 2006 and also appeared as an unused substitute against Sporting Braga, a match which Tottenham won 3–2. Lee was also an unused sub for a handful of top flight fixtures.

In the 2008–09 season, Lee played the majority of the time anywhere along the back four. On 25 April, he scored the only goal in the 1–0 win against Colchester United which paired with the 1–0 defeat of Milton Keynes Dons by Walsall at the stadium:mk promoted the club to the Championship. He won the club's player of the year award for the second successive year.
