R&F officially announces the departure of their defender Lee Wai Lim.
In the statement, R&F mentions that Lee has attracted interest from a Chinese League One club and will be moving to develop his career there. Joining R&F as a central defender in July 2018, Lee played 135 matches over six seasons, contributing to the team’s victories in the Elite Cup and the Hong Kong Premier League championship.
During the recently concluded 23/24 season, Lee made 25 appearances for R&F across all competitions, playing a key role in the team’s maiden Hong Kong Premier League title win. He also rejoined the Hong Kong national team after a year’s absence, starting in an away World Cup qualifier against Turkmenistan. To date, he has represented Hong Kong in 8 international A-match appearances.
It is understood that Lee’s next destination will be a club in the Yangtze River Delta area. Wishing him all the best in his new journey!
