Arran Lee-Barrett (born 28 February 1984) is an English former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
When he was 10, Lee-Barrett joined his local club Whitton Sports Centre and took the position of goalkeeper. Shortly after he was offered a place at Ipswich Town’s academy where he played alongside later-England international Darren Bent.
After leaving Ipswich he was offered an apprenticeship at Fulham and Norwich, he chose Norwich as he preferred the atmosphere there. However, he failed to break into the reserve team and was second choice reserve keeper behind future England international Robert Green. He was released by Norwich and had a trial at Chelsea. He was offered a one-year contract with Cardiff after impressing during a trial and was coached by George Wood. He spent most of his time at Cardiff as third choice keeper, mainly playing for the reserves. While playing for the reserves Lee-Barrett helped Cardiff win the Pontins Holiday Combination. Cardiff manager Lennie Lawrence decided to release the young keeper believing that he was better off getting games.
Torquay, Doncaster and Shrewsbury all showed an interest in Lee-Barrett. Although he trained with Torquay, he moved to Weymouth due to the offer of first team football. He made 19 league appearances and 2 appearances in the FA Cup, helping Weymouth to win the Nationwide Conference South. While at Weymouth Lee-Barrett was selected for the England National Game team, which consisted of England’s best non-league players and made his debut for them against the Netherlands in November 2006.
