Born in Liverpool, Lee signed a two and a half year deal in January 2009 that keeps him at St. Mary's until the end of June 2011, and was named as a substitute in the FA Cup match against Manchester United.

A product of Everton's Academy, Molyneux has picked up 24 England caps at Under-16, Under-17 and Under-18's level, and was turning heads whilst playing for the Toffeemen's Reserves when he suffered two slipped discs in his back, which required an operation at the start of the 2007/08 season.

Now fully-fit again, he made his debut for Everton Reserves aged just 16, and despite his early years, he has already developed something of a reputation as a free-kick specialist, including a memorable strike during a Mersey-side Reserves derby match that saw Everton defeat Liverpool 3-2.

Pace is another asset at his disposal and Lee is not afraid to attack as well as defend. He is also able to play in a more forward position in midfield, making Molyneux another versatile young addition to the Saints squad.

Lee made his Saints debut in the 1-0 away win against Barnsley on 10th January 2009.
