Lee David Cox (born 26 June 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Northern Premier League club Coalville Town. Born in Leicester, he has played in the Scottish Premier League for Inverness Caledonian Thistle, and the Football League for Swindon Town, Oxford United, Stevenage and Plymouth Argyle.
Cox was born in Leicester. He began his career when he joined Leicester City as a 13-year-old. He was a member of the youth team that won the Premier Academy League in the 2006–07 season and signed his first professional contract in May 2008. Cox was loaned to Yeovil Town for a month in January 2009, but returned to Leicester without making a first-team appearance. He was released by the club that summer and signed a one-year contract with Inverness Caledonian Thistle in June. In his first season with the club, Cox won the Scottish Football League First Division title and promotion to the Scottish Premier League.
He signed a two-year contract extension in April 2010. Having made 67 league appearances for Inverness, Cox was transferred to Swindon Town in January 2012 for an undisclosed fee on a two-and-a-half-year contract. He made seven appearances in his first two months with Swindon but lost his place in March and did not play again before the club won the Football League Two title. Cox was transfer-listed in June, and joined Oxford United on loan until January 2013 the following month. He made 19 appearances for Oxford in all competitions before returning to Swindon when the clubs were unable to agree terms on an extension.
