Smith had a short run in the Reading first team in the middle part of 2000-01, and headed an equaliser against Bristol Rovers on Boxing Day, but once Jamie Harper was signed it was clear his chances would be limited.

An experienced defensive midfield player who is strong in the tackle and works hard.
