A defender from Lalbert, Smith finished second in the 1986 Richmond best and fairest, which was his debut season.[1][2] He played 20 games that year, the most he would ever play in a VFL/AFL season, with his career being restricted by injury.[1][3] Smith, who started as a half-back flanker but was also used as a centreman and on the wing, played 10 games in 1987, then did not feature at all in 1988 and made just four appearances in 1989.[1][3] He played with Richmond for four more years, including a 16-game season in 1991.[3]
Smith was the captain-coach of Hume Football League club Osborne for their 2000 and 2001 premiership teams.[4] His performance in the 2000 Grand Final earned him the Des Kennedy Memorial Medal.[5]
