Lee David Cox (born 26 June 1990) is an English professional footballer who most recently played for United Counties League Division One side Coalville Town, where he played as a midfielder.

Playing career

[edit]

Cox was born in Leicester.[2][3] He began his career when he joined Leicester City as a 13-year-old.[2] 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.[2] Cox was loaned to Yeovil Town for a month in January 2009,[4][5] 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.[3][6] In his first season with the club, Cox won the Scottish Football League First Division title and promotion to the Scottish Premier League.[7][8]

He signed a two-year contract extension in April 2010.[9][10] 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.[11][12] 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.[13] Cox was transfer-listed in June,[14] and joined Oxford United on loan until January 2013 the following month.[15][16] He made 19 appearances for Oxford in all competitions before returning to Swindon when the clubs were unable to agree terms on an extension.[17][18]

In February 2013, Cox joined Plymouth Argyle on loan until the end of the season.[18][19] He played regularly in his first two months with the club, making ten league appearances,[20] before suffering a shoulder injury in a 1–0 win against Exeter City.[21] Cox required surgery to repair torn ligaments, which would prevent him from playing for six months.[22] "It's a crying shame as he has been a big lift for us," said Argyle manager John Sheridan.[23]

On 12 May 2014, Cox signed for Plymouth Argyle on a free transfer following his release from Swindon Town.[24]

On 26 November 2015, Cox signed for Stevenage on loan from Plymouth Argyle.[25]

on 10 January 2016, Cox returned to Argyle as his loan deal expired.

In July 2017, Cox joined Coalville Town.[26]
