Lee Nguyễn (Vietnamese: Nguyễn Thế Anh), born October 7, 1986) is an American soccer midfielder for the New England Revolution in Major League Soccer. Nguyen holds dual citizenship in the United States and Vietnam.
Nguyen graduated from Plano East Senior High School in his native Texas and was named National Gatorade Boys Soccer High School Player of the Year in 2005. He played one season for Indiana University in 2005, producing five goals and 12 assists in 22 games and was selected as 2005 National Freshman of the Year by Soccer America and Soccer Times. Nguyen was also a first team All-Big Ten selection and Big Ten Freshman of the Year.
Nguyen began his professional career by signing a three-and-half year deal with Dutch Eredivisie team PSV Eindhoven in February 2006, but after making just two appearances with the club’s senior team, he moved on in order to get more first-team time somewhere else.
On January 31, 2008, Nguyen signed with the Danish Superliga club Randers FC until the summer of 2009. He made 23 appearances with the club in parts of two seasons.
With Nguyen still hoping to remain in Europe but ready for a change of scenery, V.League 1 club Hoàng Anh Gia Lai, based in the centrally-located city of Pleiku, gave his Vietnamese father a contract offer in January 2009 to pass along to his son. The offer was much more lucrative than what he could have hoped for anywhere else, but by accepting it he took himself completely off the United States Men's National Team radar at the age of 23 after just three appearances.
