Former Wales striker shoots down "petty" comments from new Doncaster Rovers man
Elliot Lee has been criticised by a former Wales striker after making "petty" comments upon his Wrexham departure.
Lee swapped the Red Dragons for Doncaster Rovers on deadline day, signing on loan until the end of the season after slipping down the pecking order at the Championship side.
Speaking to Rovers' in-house club media upon his arrival last Monday, Lee said: "I found myself out of favour at Wrexham, so I want to come and play for a manager that makes me feel valued again."
Speaking on the BBC's Feast of Football podcast, former Wales forward Iwan Roberts has questioned Lee's comments. He said: "It looks petty. I don't know how he's been treated there [at Wrexham], but I think there are better players in front of him,"
"He plays a similar position to Nathan Broadhead, Lewis O'Brien and Josh Windass. He isn't getting in ahead of them. He's had a great three years at the club. Don't tarnish it because you've gone to Doncaster on loan. There might be a time you'll have to come back to Wrexham."
Lee enjoyed a superb, quickfire debut for Rovers on Tuesday night playing 60 minutes in a deserved 2-1 win at Burton Albion. He is expected to keep his starting spot for Saturday's trip to Wycombe.
His name was sung by the away end in Staffordshire and is thankful that a good rapport with supporters has been struck up even at this early stage.
Speaking to the Free Press ahead of that game, Lee said: "It was a great feeling and I was really touched by the fans singing my name straight away. It was after about two minutes they were singing the song I had at Wrexham so hopefully they keep singing it until the end of the season and I can keep them happy!"
