Career

West Ham United

Born in Durham, Lee was a youth team player with West Ham United, making his debut for the reserve team in 2011 before signing his first professional contract in August 2012.[4][5][6] His first appearance in a first-team squad was on 1 January 2013 when he was an unused substitute in a Premier League game against Norwich City.[7] Lee then made his professional debut for West Ham, as a 78th-minute substitute for Ricardo Vaz Tê, on 16 January 2013 in a 1–0 defeat in the FA Cup 3rd Round replay at Old Trafford against Manchester United.[8]

On 12 August 2013, Lee scored two first half goals for the West Ham development squad against Aston Villa Under-21s. On 31 August he made his Premier League debut for West Ham, coming on as an 88th-minute substitute for Mohammed Diamé in a 1–0 home defeat by Stoke City.[9] Three weeks later, Lee scored a hat-trick against Newcastle Reserves in a 5–4 away win.[10] He went on to score 11 games that season for the development squad.

Loan to Colchester United

On 22 October 2013 he signed for Colchester United on a one-month youth loan. [11] His only Colchester goal was scored on 2 November in an away draw against Rotherham United: in stoppage time in the second half, with Rotherham winning 2–1, Lee scored with a header which hit the bar and bounced over the line to make the final score 2–2.[12] He returned to West Ham on 21 November after four appearances and one goal for Colchester United.[13]

Loan to Southend United

On 31 October 2014 Lee joined Southend United on a three-month loan.[14] Within hours of signing for Southend, Lee suffered a hamstring injury and returned to West Ham for treatment.[15] On 5 November Lee was ruled out of playing for at least two months.[16] His loan was cancelled on 6 November and he returned to West Ham United, his parent club.[17]

Loan to Luton Town

On 19 February 2015, Lee joined Luton Town on loan for one month.[18] Lee chose to wear the number 38 shirt in memory of his former team-mate at West Ham, Dylan Tombides who also wore number 38.[19] He scored on his debut for Luton two days later, four minutes after coming on as a substitute for Andy Drury in a 3–2 defeat away to AFC Wimbledon.[20] On 24 March 2015, Lee scored twice in a 2–3 home defeat by Wycombe Wanderers. On scoring he revealed a T-shirt showing a picture of Tombides, to whom he dedicated his goals.[21] The following day his loan contract with Luton was extended until the end of the 2014–15 season.[22] Luton manager John Still said of Lee "Elliot's been fantastic for us and we're thrilled to have him for the rest of this season."[22]

Return to West Ham

Lee scored another hat-trick for the development squad when they faced Conference Premier side Woking in a pre-season friendly on 5 August 2014.[23] Lee was an unused substitute in the League Cup penalty shoot-out defeat by Sheffield United in the second round on 26 August 2014. He was given the number 36 for the first team the same day.[24] On his first start for West Ham, on 9 July 2015, Lee scored his first goal for the club. In a Europa League first qualifying round game away against FC Lusitanos of Andorra, he scored the only goal from a cross from Matt Jarvis.[25]

Loan to Blackpool

On 26 November 2015, Lee was loaned to League One club Blackpool until 3 January 2016.[26] He made his debut two days later, as a half-time substitute for Bright Osayi-Samuel in a 1–0 win over local rivals Fleetwood Town at Bloomfield Road.[27] In January 2016, having picked-up an injury, Lee refused the offer of an extension to his loan and returned to West Ham. His refusal angered Blackpool manager, Neil McDonald, who was quoted as saying that Lee "would rather be at home with his mum and dad” than playing for Blackpool.[28]

Second loan to Colchester United

On 18 January 2016, Lee signed on loan for Colchester United until the end of the 2015–16 season.[29] He scored his first goal of his second spell on 12 March in a 3–3 draw with Wigan Athletic.[30]

Personal life

He is the son of former Newcastle United and England midfielder Rob Lee. His older brother, Olly, formerly with West Ham, now plays for Luton.[31] He attended Brentwood School in Essex.[32]
