Hailing from Cootamundra, Smith moved to Victoria to take up a sports management degree at the University of Ballarat. Joining his mates at Redan, Smith first aired his raking left foot in Redan's reserves. He was in the 2009 senior BFL grand final, he resisted North Ballarat's overtures to do a pre-season, but by midway through last year was not only being pulled again by the Roosters, but pushed from within by Redan.

Smith had a meteoric rise in 2010, starting the year playing with Redan in the Ballarat Football League in central Victoria and finishing in North Ballarat’s VFL premiership side.
