Liverpool youngster Lee Peltier joined Norwich City on trial on 21st January 2008. He played in a reserve team match against Colchester United which finised 1-1 and was said to have put in a solid performance in front of Glenn Roeder. However nothing further materialised and on 31st January 2008, he signed for former club Yeovil Town for a small fee, signing a three year contract with the Glovers.

Peltier, who can play as a right back or in midfield, was a regular member of Liverpool's reserve team squad and was highly rated by the Melwood staff. In August 2006 he was named in the first-team squad for the first time, as an unused substitute for a Champions League qualifier against Maccabi Haifa. Two months later he made his debut in a League Cup tie against Reading on 25 October 2006.

He made his UEFA Champions League debut for Liverpool against Galatasaray on 5 December 2006. He played the full ninety minutes at right back but Liverpool lost 3-2.

On 16 March 2007 Peltier was subject to an emergency loan cover agreement, and transferred to Hull City F.C. until the end of the season. He made 7 appearances for the Tigers

He was loaned again in July 2007, joining Yeovil until the end of December 2007. He made 23 appearances for the Somerset side whom were keen to keep him at Huish Park.

On 30th June 2009, he signed a three year contract with Huddersfield. Huddersfield boss Lee Clark told BBC Radio Leeds: "Lee is a player I know well; he is a fantastic athlete and is very accomplished on the ball. We had him on trial when I was assistant at Norwich City but we didn't have the finances to secure the deal."
Peltier had made 49 appearances for Yeovil.

On 21st June 2011, it was reported that Leicester City had agreed to sign right-back Peltier for an undisclosed fee. Peltier has accepted a three-year deal and is set to seal the move when the paperwork is completed on Wednesday. The 24-year-old will be boss Sven-Goran Eriksson's first signing of what is expected to be a very busy summer. Football director Andrew Neville said: "He's an exciting addition with his best years ahead of him, which is vital as we build for the long term. Given the number of admirers his performances have drawn this season, we are extremely pleased to have secured his services. Lee was quickly identified by Sven as a player that could add considerable quality to the squad and was well known to Sven's assistant, Derek Fazackerley, from his time with Huddersfield."
