Career
Smith came up through the youth ranks at Everton before moving to Stoke City"s youth system. Upon his release from Stoke City, Smith enrolled at the University of Staffordshire to study a degree in Sports Coaching and Development, sharing his studies with playing for Non-League side Stone Dominoes F.C. Di Canio said of Smith, "he looked older than his age.
As a right-back he has a fantastic quality. He"s not very tall but when he challenges the opponent he has balance.
Also, on the ball he is very good."
Smith made his League debut for Swindon in the 0–0 draw at Bradford City in May 2012.
In November 2012, Smith joined Northampton Town on loan. Following Swindon’s decision to halve its wage bill over the summer of 2013, Smith was released by the club in May 2013, with Swindon manager Kevin MacDonald saying "the wage bill that was used this season was not sustainable so we have to reduce lieutenant lieutenant"s just a shame some good football players have had to be released."
After leaving Swindon Smith returned to his native Stoke-on-Trent and signed for non-league Kidsgrove Athletic.
He moved on to Chasetown in January 2014.
