Knee injury ends season for Southport's Kevin Lee

Lee joined Southport in July 2006 from Blackpool

Southport defender Kevin Lee is set to miss the rest of the season after suffering a serious knee injury.

The 25-year-old was carried off in the first half of Southport's 1-1 draw with Tamworth on Saturday after a 50/50 challenge at Haig Avenue.

Lee is expected to be out of action for up to 12 months after rupturing his anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate and lateral ligaments.

The former Wigan man had scored three goals in 17 appearances this season.
