Football career
Kee began his professional career with Mansfield Town, signing in the summer of 1983. He made his League debut for Mansfield in April 1985 against Chester City. He remained with Mansfield for the remainder of the season and was then signed by Brian Clough for Nottingham Forest.

He left Forest in 1986 and had spells with Southampton and Charlton before returning home where he signed for Linfield in 1987. The spell with Linfield came to an end and he signed for Coleraine with whome he won the Irish League Cup in 1987, defeating a much fancied Portadown side at The Oval.
