Across 17 matches predominantly from the bench, Smith brings consistent carrying and defensive work each time he takes the field, averaging over 13 metres per appearance and close to three tackles. His best outings show a higher ceiling — nine carries and ten tackles in a single game — suggesting he can step up his influence when given extended minutes. That combination of ball-carrying and defensive output points to a player who earns his impact in tight, physical exchanges.
