Career
After starting his career with Newcastle Town and Crewe Alexandra, Smith signed for Stoke in 1916 during the war-time season when he was free of army duty. He made his mark during the following season in the 1917–18 season, appearing in 32 regional games, and adding 28 to his tally the following term. When peacetime football returned in 1919 he was regarded as a key member of the first team and went on to make just over 100 league appearances for the "Potters" in three seasons before retiring due to injury in 1922.
