Club career
editNottingham Forest
editAfter coming through the Nottingham Forest academy, for whom he had played since the age of seven,[4] Smith spent spells on loan with Ilkeston[5] and Nuneaton Town.[6] He made his professional debut for Forest on 11 February 2017, coming on as a 23rd-minute substitute against Norwich City for the injured Stephen Henderson.[7] Smith kept his first clean sheet for Forest on 25 February as the club drew 0–0 at Wigan Athletic.
Having impressed in goal, Smith agreed a new contract with the club on 4 April to extend his stay until 2020.[8] Smith's good form continued into the last game of the season at home to Ipswich Town when, with the score at 0–0, he made two vital saves; the latter of which was described by manager Mark Warburton as "world-class". Forest won the game 3–0 to guarantee safety from relegation to League One, at the expense of Blackburn Rovers.[9][10]
Smith was released by Nottingham Forest following their 2022-23 season, ending his 22 years with the club.[11]
