Welling United confirmed Lee Martin as their new boss on May 3rd, 2025. 

38-year-old midfielder Martin enjoyed a successful playing career having began as a youngster with Manchester United, making three first-team appearances for the Premier League giants, while enjoying loan spells with Royal Antwerp, Rangers, Stoke City, Plymouth Argyle, Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest.

He made a permanent move to Ipswich Town in 2009 where he made well over 100 appearances over a four-year spell which included a loan stay with Charlton Athletic during the 2010/11 campaign.

A three-year stint with Millwall followed before Martin also represented Northampton Town, Gillingham, Exeter City, Ebbsfleet United, Dover Athletic, Ashford United and, most recently, Ramsgate, where he rounded off his playing career by helping his side to the Isthmian League Division South East title.

He now turns his attention to management as he looks to help the Wings rebuild following relegation from the National League South in 2024/25.
