Lee Holmes (born 2 April 1987) is an English football midfielder who currently plays for Derby County. He has recently returned to Derby County having completed a loan spell at Bradford City in League One. Discovered by George Burley a former Derby County and Ipswich Town manager, Holmes made his debut for Derby on Boxing Day 2002 against Grimsby Town and broke the record for the youngest ever Derby player to pull on the famous white shirt. Aged 15 years and 267 days. That season (2002-2003), he also became the youngest player ever to play in the proper rounds of the FA Cup, a record since broken by Luke Freeman of Gillingham. A loan move to Swindon Town provided him with first team experience inLeague One, with fifteen appearances and one goal. Holmes has played internationally (for England) up to Under-20 level and signed a three year contract with the Rams. In the summer of 2007 he was invited by the Dutch club NAC Breda for a trial, however the Dutch side didn't follow up their interest in the midfielder.
