Lee Congerton
Welsh footballer (born 1973)
Lee Congerton is a Welsh former footballer who is the Head of Senior Recruitment for SPL club Al-Ahli Saudi FC.
Playing career
Congerton was born on July 28, 1973. He is the son of Rhyl player Dave Congerton. While being educated at Rhyl High School he played youth international football for Wales. He signed a semi-professional contract with Rhyl, before a professional trial at Wrexham where he met Brian Flynn.
However, realising that he enjoyed coaching more than playing, Congerton signed a semi-professional contract with Colwyn Bay, allowing him to study for a degree. He then spent time at Weymouth, before signing a professional contract at Crewe Alexandra.
Coaching
His career at Crewe was blighted by injuries. It was then that Flynn, by then manager of Wrexham, offered Congerton a coaching position as Youth System Director. After Denis Smith took over as Wrexham manager Congerton joined the coaching team at Liverpool in 2002, before leaving the club in 2005 for Chelsea.
At Chelsea, he was initially appointed youth team coach by Jose Mourinho.

Why this record matters
“Lee Congerton” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Congerton, Welsh and footballer provides the most credible route into that argument.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 21, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q1759199. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1973, 2002 and 2005.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
