Career
Born in Dumfries, Smith began his career at hometown club Queen of the South. Smith was first named in a match-day squad on 24 August 2013, remaining an unused substitute in the team's 2–0 defeat at Hamilton Academical in the Scottish Championship; he was named for six more games that season, but did not play in a single one.
On 6 March 2015, Smith made his debut in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup, replacing Gavin Reilly for the final 11 minutes of a 0–1 home defeat to Falkirk. Four days later Smith made his league debut away to Rangers, replacing Reilly once more in the 83rd minute, three minutes later the 17-year-old scored his first career league goal, exploiting a mistake by goalkeeper Lee Robinson to earn a 1–1 draw.
Smith moved out on loan to Scottish League Two club Annan Athletic for the first half of the 2016–17 season and the loan deal was then extended until the end of the season on 7 January 2017.
Smith's contract wasn't renewed during May 2017, so he was released after spending seven seasons in the youth set-up at Palmerston from 2008 until 2015 and then two seasons in the first-team squad. On 14 June 2017 Smith signed permanently for Annan Athletic, after a season-long spell on loan at Galabank from Queens during the 2016–17 season.
