In January 2001 he had a training ground bust-up with Colin Cramb, who subsequently left Gresty Road and indeed the country.〔 He made his debut for the first team on the opening day of the 2002–03 season. He made 22 appearances in the 2002–03 promotion campaign, mostly as a substitute. He joined Football Conference side, Shrewsbury on loan in October 2003, but an injury restricted his opportunities and he returned to Crewe in January 2004. Bell established himself in the first team in December 2004, starting 18 times in the remainder of the 2004–05 season, and signed a new two-year contract in June 2005. After falling down the pecking order at the start of the 2005–06 season, Bell joined Burton Albion on a one-month loan in October 2005, which was extended for a further month. He returned to Crewe and made 18 appearances in the 2005–06 season. A broken foot and an ankle injury caused Bell to miss the start of the 2006–07 season. After being limited to one first team appearance, he had a request to leave Crewe granted in January 2007, and joined Burton Albion on a contract until the end of the season. Following a successful trial, Bell joined Mansfield Town in August 2007. He made 27 appearances for Mansfield in the 2007–08 season, before suffering a serious knee injury in February 2008 that ruled him out for most of the rest of the season. After Mansfield Town were relegated to the Conference National at the end of the 2007–08 season, Bell was released by the club, and joined Macclesfield Town on a one-year contract. He impressed at the club in 2008–09, making a total of 47 appearances, and signed a one-year extension to his contract in June 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mtfc.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10393~14560,00.html )〕 He played 44 games in 2009–10, and was voted the club's Player of the Year.〔 He was released by the club, along with ten other players, in May 2010. He was re-signed by Crewe on a two-year contract in May 2010, with manager Dario Gradi looking to add experience to the squad. He was one of three regular club captains during the 2010–11 season, along with David Artell and Ashley Westwood. He helped the club to reach the play-offs in 2011–12, and was a last second substitute as the "Railwaymen" secured victory in the League Two play-off final at Wembley Stadium. However he was released by new boss Steve Davis a few days later, and was heavily linked with a move to nearby Port Vale. Bell signed a one-year contract with Burton Albion in the summer of 2012 following a short trial, during which he impressed in a pre season friendly against Aston Villa. With the help of Bell,who would captain the team for a number of games during the season, Burton Albion enjoyed their highest ever finish in the football league.

Bell, however, received a 4-game suspension for a red card given towards the end of the season and was unavailable for the final, should Burton Albion have reached it. Bell signed a new one-year contract in April 2013. On 31 December 2014, new manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink let Lee know that he would not feature in the team and he should look for a move.
