As per this report from The Sheffield Star, Lee, who had been working with the Owls’ academy, “has been praised for his work in developing the likes of Josh Render during his time at Wednesday.” This article goes on to explain that Lee is expected to “operate in a similar role to the one he held at Wednesday” with his new club.
