Chilling at home with his new golden cocker retriever called Alfie. Such a funny selfie!

This lad was born in Sale, a town in Trafford. He joined the youth academy of Manchester City in 2006 and was one of their most promising young players. With his leading capabilities he was the captain of Cities' Academy squad which won the 2008 FA Youth Cup. In 2009 he signed his first professional contract that connected him to the Citizens for two more years. In the summer of 2010 manager Roberto Mancini selected him to join Manchester City's US tour. He played two games, against Portland Timbers & New York Red Bulls. The same season he received number 41 and made his professional debut in the League Cup against West Bromwich Albion (2-1 loss). On New Years Day 2011 it was announced that Mee would join Leicester City for the rest of the 2010-11 season. He played 15 games and returned to City after 6 months. In July 2011 it was confirmed that Mee would join Burnley for a season on loan. In the 2011-12 season he did very well for Burnley - in January 2012 Burnley's boss Eddie Howe said in an interview that they would like to buy Mee on a permanent basis. And.. so he did! The very same month he signed a contract at Burnley for three and a half-year for an undisclosed fee. In the following seasons he became one of the most important and respected players of the squad.
