Lee Bradbury (born July 3, 1975 on the Isle of Wight) is an English footballer, who plays as a striker.
A former army recruit, Bradbury started his professional career at Portsmouth, where he played for three years. A number of impressive performances in the 1996-97 season resulted in interest from a number of clubs, and in July 1997 he was purchased by Manchester City manager Frank Clark for a club record £3 million. Bradbury struggled to make an impact at Maine Road, resulting in some fans nicknaming him "Lee Badbuy", and at the end of the 1997-98 season City were relegated, with Bradbury having scored just six goals. Three months into the following season Bradbury moved to Crystal Palace for £1.5 million. Less than a year later Bradbury was on the move again, returning to Portsmouth for roughly one tenth of the fee they had sold him for. Bradbury's career started to recover at Pompey, making more than 100 appearances in his second spell at the club. However, in the 2002-03 season Bradbury lost his first team place as Portsmouth pushed for the First Division title. Loan spells at Derby, Sheffield Wednesday and Walsall (where he scored against Derby) followed in the 2003-04 season.
At the end of the 2004-05 season Bradbury was playing for Oxford United.
Bradbury signed a four-month contract with Southend United on January 31, 2006. He is hoping to sign a year's contract at the end of the season.
