Proud moment for midfielder Lee as he looks set to reach milestone
The 26-year-old was brought in by previous John Still back in August 2015, making his debut in the 1-1 Capital One Cup draw with Stoke City, goig on to score eight goals in that time.
There have been a number of crackers, most notably against York City and Oxford United, although none better than the one from his own half during Town’s 7-0 thrashing of Cambridge United which has been nominated for November’s League Two Goal of the Month.

Hide AdHatters boss Nathan Jones was quick to praise Lee too, who is one of only six first team players left at the club since he took over in February 2016, including Scott Cuthbert, Dan Potts, Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu, James Justin and Frankie Musonda.
He said: “The response I’ve had from Olly Lee since I came in has been wonderful.
“We’ve earmarked certain things, he’s a wonderful footballer, we’ve asked him to do other stuff which he has, now he’s chipping in with goals, assists and he’s a key member of our team.”
