Lee Cartwright (born 19 September 1972) is a retired footballer who made over 400 league appearances for Preston North End.
Born in Rawtenstall, Rossendale, Lancashire,[3] Cartwright was signed from school as a trainee in 1989 by North End boss John McGrath.
Under McGrath's successor, Les Chapman, he made his first team debut at the age of 18 in a 1–0 home win against Shrewsbury Town in March 1991.
In the following season, 1991–92, he missed only a handful of matches as he picked up the club's player of the year award as reward for a string of consistently good displays.
Cartwright joined Conference North side Scarborough for the 2006–07 season, where he won the club's last Player of the Year award before their liquidation.
