Scout report
K. Smith is a 34-year-old central defender at FC Cincinnati, rated 11.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 426th of 436 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (46.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.59 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 96th of 101 of the 101 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 1 clean sheet and 2.593 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 12, 98th of 101 of the 101 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 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · FC Cincinnati finished 8th of 15 · a mid-table side
2.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 16 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- 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 11.5, Smith carries the 98th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 101 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
