Arvid Smit (born 12 December 1980 in Heerhugowaard, North Holland) is a Dutch former footballer who played as a midfielder.
Football career
After impressing with Telstar in the second division, Smit was signed by country giants PSV Eindhoven in 2002, but would appear very rarely officially for his new team and never in the Eredivisie, going on to serve loans with three different sides in the country, always in the top flight.
In January 2007, still owned by PSV, Smit moved to Portugal's C.S. Marítimo, making his first appearance on the 29th in the local derby of Madeira against C.D. Nacional.[1] After a good spell – he started in all the league games during the season, completing all but one – the move was made permanent, but he was deemed surplus to requirements shortly after, which prompted a new January move, also in the country, as he joined (on loan) U.D. Leiria.
Smit returned to his country in the 2008 summer, signing with top level side FC Volendam. After having appeared sparingly throughout the campaign, he dropped down a category and returned to his first professional club, Telstar, retiring from professional football in July 2011 at the age of 30.
