Representative Career
Smith represented England at U17 and U18 level before being selected in 2006, along with six of his Leeds team mates, to represent England in the Federation Shield tournament. He scored a try in the opening match against France & then scored a last minute try in England's second game against Tonga. He also came off the bench in the third game against Samoa. He then played in the final as England completed their unbeaten tournament with a 32-14 win, again over Tonga.
In 2008, Smith was selected to represent England at the World Cup in Australia. He scored a hat trick in England's opening match against Papua New Guinea but then only made one further appearance as England endured a disappointing tournament, crashing out in the semi-finals without winning another match.
Smith was selected for England again in 2009, for the Four Nations tournament. He scored a try in the victory over France and in the defeat to Australia but then missed out as England went on to lose in the final against Australia.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
