[edit] Career

[edit] College and Amateur

Smith played college soccer at Champlain College and Lees-McRae College, and in the USL Premier Development League for Carolina Dynamo.

[edit] Professional

Smith began his professional career playing for the Dandy Town Hornets, who he helped win the 2003-04 Cingular Wireless Premier Division title in his first year at the club. In his second season he led the league in scoring as Dandy Town finished two points behind Devonshire Cougars. He captured his second trophy with the club in 2005 leading the Hornets to the Bermuda Champions Cup.

After two successful seasons in Bermuda he moved Major League Soccer and signed with New England Revolution. He made his first start, and scored his first goal, on June 4, 2005 during a 1-1 tie with the Kansas City Wizards. Smith also scored the winning goal against the MetroStars which led the Revolution to the MLS Conference Championship in 2005. He came to be known in New England for his maddeningly inconsistent play, showing occasional flashes of brilliance, but also making fundamental mistakes. He was also known for his pace and his crucial crosses which pick out his teammates for easy finishes.

He moved from an out and out striker to an attacking left wing back and is a danger when on form as he has shown in MLS games. Regardless, in 2007 and 2008 he was the regular starter on the left wing and scored several crucial goals.

On November 26, 2008, Smith was selected by Seattle Sounders FC in the fourth round of the 2008 MLS Expansion Draft. ^[1] Before ever playing a match for the Sounders, he was traded to Red Bull New York in exchange for allocation money.^[2]

[edit] International

Smith has played for the Bermudian national team since 2003. He has appeared in 7 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches for Bermuda, scoring 3 goals. Smith enjoys celebrity status in his homeland, and following the retirement of Shaun Goater from top-level competitive play is the island's most famous footballer.
