Striker Alan Lee is hanging up his boots at the age of 35 having undergone knee surgery over the summer. The former Irish international rejoined the Blues a year ago, primarily as an academy coach but was subsequently added to the first-team squad as back-up to Mick McCarthy s main strikers.
TWTD understands that boss Mick McCarthy is giving serious consideration to offering former striker Alan Lee a contract for the season ahead. Lee, 34, returned to the club earlier in the summer to begin coaching in the academy, but as reported this morning has been training with the first team this week.
