Club career

Wellington Phoenix

Smith joined Wellington Phoenix to be part of their reserves team playing in the ISPS Handa Premiership. Smith played one game for the reserves, starting in a game against Canterbury United before he was sent off in the 65th minute for a second yellow. He made his senior debut for Wellington Phoenix in the A-League on 8 October 2017, in a 1–1 draw with Adelaide United.
On 9 November 2017, Smith signed a three-year scholarship contract with the Wellington Phoenix. As the Phoenix had already reached their limit of 23 professional players, Smith's first two years were as a youth before his third as a professional.

Lower Hutt

Smith was released by the Wellington Phoenix on 4 May 2018 so he could play winter football for Lower Hutt in the Central League with the plan for him to then see out the second and third year of his contract back with the club.
On 11 October 2018, it was announced that Smith and the Phoenix had agreed to a mutual termination that allowed Smith to sign with Tasman United to play in the ISPS Handa Premiership.
