Career

Smith played for Walthamstow youth team Interwood. His former coach at Interwood, Trevor Bailey, brought him to Crystal Palace at the age of nine. [2]

Smith progressed through the youth ranks at Crystal Palace and was awarded a one-year contract in the summer of 2008. [3] After failing to make an appearance for Crystal Palace, Smith was released from the club in the summer of 2009. [4] His former coach at Palace, Gary Issott, said; "Jamie Smith is a diminutive attacking central midfielder in the mould of Eyal Berkovic. He is very clever and improved after a frustrating first year. He started this season well and, up until Christmas, his form was electric." [2]

On 3 August 2009, Smith signed a one-year contract with Brighton & Hove Albion after impressing during a trial with the club. [5] Smith made his professional debut for Brighton during the 7–1 defeat to Huddersfield Town on 18 August 2009. [6] He was substituted in the first half after goalkeeper Michel Kuipers was sent off; Smith made way for the replacement goalkeeper Graeme Smith.[ citation needed ]

Smith signed a six-month contract extension in May 2011 [7] After being released by the Seagulls, Smith went on to train and eventually sign a contract until the end of the 2011–12 season with Leyton Orient. [8] He made his only Orient appearance as a late substitute in the 3–0 defeat at Exeter City on 9 April 2012. [9] On 15 May he was one of three players released by Orient manager Russell Slade. [10]

Following a brief period at Dover Athletic, Smith joined Eastbourne Borough in November 2012. [11]
