Ryan Craig Matthew Smith (born 10 November 1986 in Archway, Islington, London) is an English footballer, currently without a club. He can play as a midfielder or striker.
Football career
An England youth international, Smith started his career at Arsenal. He made his Arsenal debut against Rotherham United on 28 October 2003 at the age of 16. He also managed to start against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Middlesbrough. All of the matches in which he played for Arsenal were in the Carling Cup, including a game on 9 November 2004 against Everton which saw him go off injured after 20 minutes.
On 30 September 2005, Smith was signed by Leicester City on loan for the whole of the 2005-06 season. Although initially a first team player for Leicester, he lost his place in the side midway through the season, and after less than six months he and Leicester agreed by mutual consent that the loan should end. He returned to Arsenal on 10 March 2006.[1]
On 4 August 2006, Smith agreed personal terms on a 3 year contract with Championship outfit Derby County. He made his debut in a 2-2 draw against Southampton on 6 August. After struggling to break into a Derby side pushing for promotion, and the arrival of several midfielders in the January transfer window, Smith moved on loan to League One side Millwall on 21 March 2007 on an initial one-month loan deal, but this was extended on 17 April 2007 to run until the end of the 2006-07 season. Smith impressed during his time on loan at Millwall and manager Willie Donachie expressed an interest in retaining the youngster's services.[2] In July 2007 Milwall paid £150,000 for Smith, who signed a two year contract with the club.[3] However, injuries and a big drop in form resulted in limited appearances for Smith at Millwall.
On 3 October 2008, he joined Southampton initially on a three month loan.[4] The transfer became permanent on 1 January 2009, when Smith signed a 6-month contract.[5] He was released by Southampton on 2 May 2009.
On 26 August 2009, he signed a contract with Crystal Palace.[6] He made his Crystal Palace first team debut on 27 August in the 2-0 Carling Cup defeat to Manchester City coming on as a substitute in the second half. He left on 25 January 2010 after coming to the end of his short term contract.]].[7]
On January 27th Smith joined Grimsby Town on trial, playing for The Mariners in a behind the closed doors friendly against Hull City at Blundell Park</ref>http://www.grimsby-townfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10417~1945234,00.html</ref>
