Club career
Smyth started his career with Preston North End where he was a former captain of Preston's youth side and was a regular at reserve team level in 2009, the same year as he was handed his first professional contract. He was formerly a striker at Preston but converted to a defender whilst at the club.
In June 2010 he signed for League two club Accrington Stanley on a 1-year contract. He made his debut on 31 August 2010 in a Football League Trophy match against Tranmere Rovers coming on as a 13th-minute substitute.
In December 2010 he joined Conference North side Workington A.F.C. on loan. He made his debut for Workington on 11 December in a league match against Stafford Rangers but bad weather saw further games postponed. It was reported that he had returned to Accrington on 24 December but his loan was later extended.
It was announced by Accrington on 23 May that he would be released at the end of June 2011 when his current contract expired.
In October 2011 he re-joined Northwich Victoria for his second spell at the club. In May 2012 he moved to Colwyn Bay.
