He earned his first professional contract in August with Sutton United. After a prolific season with the under-18s, he joined Crawley Town in August 2011 despite having not appeared in the Sutton first team.

He enjoyed a prolific loan spell with Metropolitan Police in the first three months of the 2012–13 season, scoring 24 goals.

On 18 September 2015, Smith joined National League North side Gloucester City on a non-contract basis. On 22 December, after ten appearances and four goals in all competitions, Smith left the club. On 23 January 2016 he marked his debut for Lewes with two goals in a 3–1 win at home to Canvey Island, only hours after the club announced they secured his signature on a non-contract basis. He joined Welling United in May 2016 and spent the first month of the 2016–17 season on loan at Cray Wanderers, making his debut at Guernsey. In October 2016 he was loaned out to Lewes, initially for a month. He returned on a permanent contract on 19 November 2016, as he helped The Rooks draw 2–2 at Molesey.

On 3 September 2019, Smith joined League Two side Cheltenham Town on a deal until January 2020. On 8 October 2019 he scored a hat-trick, his first goals for the club, in an EFL Trophy tie against West Ham United U21. His contract was later extended until the end of the season, but he was released by the club at the end of the season.
