10 clean sheets in 28 appearances (36% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (7th of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.1% 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 32.3, Smith carries the 4th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League Two (top 13%). A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
