Benjamin James "Ben" Smith (born 5 September 1986 in Whitley Bay, Tyne & Wear) is an English football goalkeeper, currently playing for Doncaster Rovers.

Biography

Smith is son of the renowned goalkeeper and goalkeeping coach Simon Smith. He attended Whitley Bay High School.

He has previously been on the books of Newcastle United's youth team and Stockport County, without making any first-team appearances for either club. He made his debut for Doncaster in a League Cup game against Wycombe Wanderers on 24 October 2006, which lead to a run in the side as Rovers first choice goalkeeper, but the signing of ever-present goalkeeper Neil Sullivan has seen Smith's chances very limited in the first team. He went on loan to Lincoln City in November 2007.
