Lee Trevor Williamson (born 7 June 1982) is an English footballer who currently plays for Portsmouth. Born in Alvaston, Derby he started his career at Mansfield Town before spending time at Northampton Town, Rotherham United, Watford and Sheffield United. He has been called up for Jamaica but was an unused squad player.

Club career

Early career

Williamson started his career at Mansfield Town, making 165 appearances in his stay at Field Mill. He then moved to Northampton Town early in the 2004–05 season where he quickly established himself as an automatic choice in the first team where he scored two goals.

Williamson then joined Rotherham United in the summer of 2005, and once again established himself in first team.

Watford

He completed a move to Watford along with team mate Will Hoskins for a combined fee of £1.2 million on 5 January 2007. On 31 January 2007 he played his first Premier League match for Watford against Manchester United.[1]

Williamson scored three times in his first season at Vicarage Road but was then loaned to Preston North End at the end of March until the end of the 2008–09 season.[2] He scored his only Preston goal on 18 April 2009 against Cardiff City which rounded off a 6–0 win at Deepdale.[3]

Sheffield United

Williamson signed with Sheffield United for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £500,000, during the 2009 close season.[4] Having suffered a back injury in pre-season[5] Williamson found himself sidelined until the end of October and had to wait until December to score his début goal for the club against Crystal Palace.[6]

He continued to be dogged by injuries during his first season with the Blades and eventually returned for a second operation on his back in the close season. This time, however, Williamson almost died after suffering complications during the operation. He was placed on a life support machine for two days after contracting an infection. Commenting at the time, then Blades Manager Kevin Blackwell said: "He was placed on life support. He's a very lucky lad to be alive."[7]

On 26 July 2012, on Sheffield United's pre-season tour of Malta, manager, Danny Wilson confirmed Williamson would not sign a new deal with the club and had subsequently been told to stay away from training with the sqaud. Despite this Wilson refused to rule out Williamson signing a new deal. [8]

Portsmouth

On 16 August 2012, Williamson signed a one-month deal with Portsmouth.

International career

On 23 May 2008, Williamson was included in a 28-man squad to play for Jamaica.[9]

Personal life

Williamson has a wife called Gemma.
