Lee Stephen Burge (born 9 January 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for League One club Coventry City.

Career

On 30 January 2013 Burge joined Conference National side Nuneaton Town on loan for a month, with a view of gaining more experience,[2] He made his Nuneaton Town debut on 2 February 2013 in a 3-2 loss to Stockport County.[3] Burge was joined at Nuneaton by fellow Sky Blue Aaron Phillips, both Burge and Phillips had their loan spells extended until the end of the season and were influential in saving Nuneaton from relegation.

At the beginning of the 2014-15 season following Joe Murphy's transfer, Burge was handed the number one shirt. Burge made his professional debut starting on 13 August 2014 in a 2-1 League Cup loss to Cardiff City.[4]

After some poor displays from first-choice keeper Ryan Allsop in the opening few months of the 2014–15 season, Burge was handed his first league start for Coventry City against Peterborough United on 25 October 2014 resulting in a 3-2 win after trailing 2-0 at half-time. The following home game was The FA Cup round one, Burge was sent-off after 39 minutes for kicking a Worcester City player, conceding a penalty that was scored. Reduced to 10 men, the Sky Blues lost the game 2-1 and suffered their first ever FA Cup first round exit and their first loss to a non-league side since 1989.

On 30 September 2018, Burge was struck by a puck while watching local ice hockey team Coventry Blaze play against the Sheffield Steelers at the SkyDome Arena.[5]
