Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox football biography Christopher David Smith (born 12 October 1990) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Chasetown.

Playing career

Smith came up through the youth ranks at Everton before moving to Stoke City's youth system.[1] Upon his release from Stoke City, Smith enrolled at the University of Staffordshire to study a degree in Sports Coaching and Development, sharing his studies with playing for Non-League side Stone Dominoes.[2]

In June 2011, along with 5,000 hopefuls, Smith entered Samsung's Win A Pro Contract competition in a bid to earn a professional deal with Swindon Town. In February 2012, Smith was chosen by then Swindon manager Paolo Di Canio as the competition winner.[3] Di Canio said of Smith, "he looked older than his age. As a right-back he has a fantastic quality. He's not very tall but when he challenges the opponent he has balance. Also, on the ball he is very good."[3]

Smith made his League debut for Swindon in the 0–0 draw at Bradford City in May 2012. In November 2012, Smith joined Northampton Town on loan.[4]

Following Swindon's decision to halve its wage bill over the summer of 2013, Smith was released by the club in May 2013,[5] with Swindon manager Kevin MacDonald saying "the wage bill that was used this season was not sustainable so we have to reduce it. It's just a shame some good footballers have had to be released."[5]

After leaving Swindon Smith returned to his native Stoke-on-Trent and signed for non-league Kidsgrove Athletic.[6] He moved on to Chasetown in January 2014.[7]
