Billy Rodney Kee (born 1 December 1990) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for League Two side Accrington Stanley. He has also represented Northern Ireland at Under 19 and Under 21 level.
Kee is a stocky forward whose game is based on power and aerial ability. He has quite good technical skills too.
Born in Loughborough, Kee grew up in Leicester and joined Leicester City in 2007 after the club spotted him, playing for Allexton & New Parks Juniors. He started to this season's Academy League by scoring 14 goals in 5 games for the club. Kee's biggest game in a Leicester shirt was against Crystal Palace Under 19s in the FA Youth Cup where he was on the score sheet and was Man of the Match, beating Swedish Under-19s goalkeeper Robin Mattsson with a strike.
On 17 July 2009, it was announced that Kee had agreed his first professional contract at Leicester after considering leaving the club. On the same day, a six-month loan deal at Accrington Stanley was also announced. Kee made his League debut for Accrington, playing 84 minutes before being replaced by Michael Symes as Stanley lost 1–0 to Rotherham United. On 11 September 2010, Kee scored his first Accrington Stanley goal, scoring a winning goal in the 84th minutes, a 2–1 win over Darlington. His three goals and nineteen appearance led Accrington Stanley extending Kee's loan spell with the club until the end of the season. Kee went on to make eighteen more appearance and scoring six more goals for the club, including a brace, in a 2–0 win over Chesterfield on 1 May 2010.
On 17 May 2010, Kee was released by Leicester along with Stephen Clemence, Levi Porter, Robbie Burns, Carl Pentney, Astrit Ajdarevic and Alex Cisak. Following this, Kee expressed his disappointment to be released by the club.
