Lee was appointed as Valley's first team manager in November 2009.

The 35-year-old former Northampton Town defender replaced the outgoing Tony Dobson with Rugby rock bottom of the Zamaretto Premier with the task of turning the season around.

Colkin's appointment at Rugby is his first in a full managerial position and is assisted by close friend Michael Love.

After a difficult start, Colkin had to wait until December to claim his first win but the struggle continued and Rugby managed just four wins all season and were subsequently relegated.

Lee left the club by mutual consent in April 2010.

Lee had an eight year professional career, starting as an apprentice at Northampton Town, and then going on to feature in more than 100 first team matches for the Cobblers.

He also played at Leyton Orient, before making a successful move into the non-league game - where he featured for a number of clubs including Hednesford, Morecambe, Burton Albion, Tamworth, Hinckley, Kettering and Hucknall within the Conference structure.
