2009–2017

Lee started playing rugby when hew attended high school in England, and became involved with the Hong Kong Under-20 team on his return to his country of birth.[1] He was a member of the Hong Kong Sevens team at the 2011 Asian Sevens Series. He won a silver medal at the 2014 Asian Games, losing to Japan in the final.[2] He joined the Hong Kong Sports Institute on a part-time basis in December 2013 when rugby sevens became the first team sport admitted to the institute.[3]

Move to Japan

In August 2017, Lee became the first Chinese player to be recruited by a Top League club, the NEC Green Rockets in Japan.[4] He signed a one-year deal with the Abiko-based club, and made ten appearances during the 2017–18 Top League season.[5] Despite NEC offering him a one-year contract extension, he returned to Hong Kong in early 2018 to prepare for the Hong Kong Sevens which served as qualification of World Rugby Sevens Series, Rugby World Cup Sevens and Asian Games.[6]

Hong Kong 2018

In the 2018 Hong Kong Sevens, Hong Kong was eliminated by Chile in the quarter finals, failing to gain promotion to following year's World Series. In the 2018 Rugby World Cup Sevens, Hong Kong again lost to Chile again to finish as runners-up in the Bowl Final.[7] In the 2018 Asian Games, he helped Hong Kong to win all their games in both the group and knockout stages, including a 14–0 victory against Japan to become one of the first gold medal winners for Hong Kong in rugby sevens.[8]
