Lee Chin (born 8 October 1992) is an Irish hurler who plays for Wexford Senior Championship club Faythe Harriers and at inter-county level with the Wexford senior hurling team.

Playing career

Faythe Harriers

Chin joined the Faythe Harriers club at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels, enjoying championship success at under-21 level in 2012.[1]

On 14 October 2012, Chin was at left wing-back when Faythe Harriers faced Oulart-the Ballagh in the Wexford Senior Championship final. He ended the game on the losing side following a 2-12 to 0-13 victory for Oulart.[2]

Wexford

Minor and under-21

Chin first lined out for Wexford as a member of the minor team during the 2010 Leinster Championship. He made his first appearance on 1 May 2010 when he lined out at centre-back in a 3-21 to 2-17 defeat of Offaly.[3] Chin's minor tenure ended on 26 June when Wexford suffered a 1-16 to 1-15 semi-final defeat by Dublin.

Chin was drafted onto the Wexford under-21 team for the 2011 Leinster Championship. He made his first appearance in that grade on 6 June 2011 when he scored 0-02 from midfield in a 1-19 to 0-10 defeat of Offaly.

Chin was eligible for the minor grade again the following season. On 11 July 2013, he won a Leinster Championship medal after scoring a point from midfield in Wexford's 1-21 to 0-21 defeat of Kilkenny in the final.[4]

Senior

Chin made his first appearance for the Wexford senior team on 24 February 2013. He lined out at left wing-back in a 2-15 to 0-16 defeat of Carlow in the National League.[5] Chin made his first Leinster Championship on 8 June when he came on as a substitute for Ciarán O'Shaughnessy at midfield in a 1-17 apiece draw with Dublin.[6]

Chin was named GAA/GPA Player of the Month for July 2014.[7]

On 2 July 2017, Chin lined out in his first Leinster final. He was selected at centre-forward but spent much of the game against Galway at midfield. Chin scored four points in the 0-29 to 1-17 defeat.[8]

On 20 January 2018, Chin was named amongst the substitutes when Wexford faced Kilkenny in the Walsh Cup final. He was introduced as a half-time substitute for Jack Guiney and scored a point from play in the 1-24 apiece draw. Wexford won the subsequent free-taking shoot-out, with Chin claiming his first silverware at senior level with Wexford.[9]

Personal life

Chin was born in Ireland to a Malaysian Chinese father and Irish mother and has spoken out about racial abuse he and his family have received during matches and on the streets.[10][11] Chin is a brand ambassador for iPro Sport, Fulfil Nutrition, and O'Neills.[citation needed]
