The burly centreback rose through the ranks at The Bescot during their promotion season and has been a fixture ever since
The tall defender is another to come through Walsall’s youth ranks. The highly-rated Birmingham-born centre back made his debut for the club in their triumphant League Two promotion season in 2006/07 and finally broke into the Saddlers’ first team on a regular basis at the end of the 2007/08 season, forging a successful partnership with Anthony Gerrard at the heart of the club’s defence. His displays were enough to see him offered a one-year contract extension that will see him look to build on his progress with new man Jimmy Mullen. Smith was also promoted to reserve-team captain during Money’s final season in charge.
