Lee was also an unused sub for a handful of top flight fixtures.

On 18 November, Lee played his first game for Millwall in their 2–2 draw with Doncaster Rovers, filling in for the injured Richard Shaw.

He was released from his contract by Tottenham on 19 May 2007.[4]

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.
