Previous clubs: Ipswich and Boston United.

International honours: 6 Wales Under-21 caps.

Signed: February 2005.

Lee Beevers, who was born in Doncaster, is a versatile defender, although Boston United believed that right-back is his best position.

He won the Boston United players' player-of-the-year and Boston United manager's young-player-of-the-year awards for the 2003/04 season, so it was a big surprise when Boston sold him to Lincoln in February 2005 especially as Beevers had been linked to QPR.

Despite his South Yorkshire roots, Beevers is a former Welsh youth international, and was signed by Boston from Ipswich Town in March 2003. He was a regular for the Wales' Under-21 side until his retirement from the Under-21's in November 2005.

He joined Lincoln for an undisclosed fee, believed to be £50,000. However, he has yet to live up to this fee and the 2006/07 season will be a pivotal season in his Lincoln City career. Lincoln, following the departures of Gareth McAuley and Jamie McCombe, have defensive vacancies, so Beevers must claim one of these places - not least because he failed to hold down a first team place during the 2005/06 season.

Beevers did not disappoint even although he failed to establish himself in one particular role. Despite playing in several positions during the season, he was rewarded with the Lincoln City FC Player of the Season award for 2006/07. The following season saw Beevers enjoy a steady season mainly playing at centre-half.
