Lee moved to the UK in 2014 and featured for Weston-super-Mare and Clevedon before his short first stint at Butlin Road.

Also joining the club today are midfielders Karabo Motshweni and Rico Taylor.

Both players have impressed boss Carl Adams in pre-season with Rico having worked under Valley boss Carl Adams in his Stratford Town days.

The 29-year-old midfielder has a wealth of experience in non-league football over the past ten years including spells with new division rivals Sutton Coldfield, Coleshill Town, Boldmere St Michaels and Bedworth United.

Fellow 29-year-old Motshweni is an attacking midfielder who spent last season with Lutterworth Town in the UCL Premier Division South and scored against Rugby at Butlin Road.

South African Karabo has featured for a number of sides in the last ten years, most notably a spell with Shepshed Dynamo during their promotion season from the United Counties League in 2020.
