A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (46% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.64 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Smith.
Judged on this season alone, Smith graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 111th of 120 of the 120 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 1 clean sheet and 2.644 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 12 → 8). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 117th of 120 of the 120 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 34 Smith is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Watch points

- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 11, Smith carries the 117th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 120. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
