Lee Martin (born February 9, 1987 in Taunton) is an English football player currently playing in the Scottish Premier League for Rangers on loan from Manchester United. Although primarily a right footed winger, he has often started on the left in the Rangers system and looks just as comfortable there. The flexible system Rangers play sees him frequently swap flanks with the other winger. One of his strengths is his delivery from set pieces.
He signed for Manchester United on 17 December 2003, from Wimbledon, in a deal estimated at £1 million. In January 2006, Martin joined United’s feeder club Belgian second division club Royal Antwerp in a loan deal until May 2006, to gain first team match experience. During that short spell he earned the Royal Antwerp Fans’ Player of the Year award, and earned the fan-chosen Man of the Match award in five consecutive games. On August 11, 2006 after impressing in pre-season, particularly in a friendly against Celtic, he moved on loan to Rangers .
His skills instantly impressed the Rangers support, who chanted “There’s only one Lee Martin” only two games into his career with the club.
He should not be confused with another Lee Martin who also played for Manchester United, as well as Celtic.
