A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.09 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Smith.

We hold a single season for Smith, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 7th of 16 of the 16 central midfielders in the Super League. At 19 Smith is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 38.4, Smith carries the 7th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 16 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
