Club career
Manchester City
Having initially joined the academy of West Bromwich Albion at a young age, in 2013 Smith moved to the academy of Manchester City, where he progressed through several age groups.[4]
In July 2018 at the age of 18, Smith joined Dutch Eerste Divisie club FC Twente on a season-long loan,[5] eventually making 37 appearances and scoring 2 goals, playing a key role in the club's promotion to the Eredivisie.[6] Over the next two seasons, he was again sent out on loan to EFL Championship clubs Queens Park Rangers and Charlton Athletic, as well as EFL League One club Doncaster Rovers, making over 40 appearances for the latter.[6] Ahead of the 2021–22 season, on 6 August 2021 Smith joined EFL Championship club Hull City on another season-long loan.[7]
Milton Keynes Dons
On 31 January 2022, following limited opportunities with Hull, Smith was recalled from his loan and immediately transferred to League One club Milton Keynes Dons on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee.[6] He made his debut for the club on 8 February 2022, in a 1–1 draw away to Fleetwood Town.[8]
International career
Born in England, Smith qualifies for the Welsh national team through his grandfather who is from Gwent in Wales.[9]
Smith has played for Wales at U17, U19, U21 and senior level, often captaining the side at youth level. He received a first call-up to the senior squad on 20 May 2018.[10]
He made his senior debut for Wales in a friendly 0–0 tie with Mexico, replacing Tom Lawrence after 81 minutes.[11] In May 2021 he was selected for the Wales squad for the delayed UEFA Euro 2020 tournament.[12]
