publisher=The Northern Echo] He joined Wimbledon on loan following the club's move to Milton Keynes, making the move permanent in the summer of 2004.
Although suffering from numerous spells out injured, he established himself as a fans' favourite due to his attacking style and flair in midfield. Injury struck again, however, in the derby game at Wycombe Wanderers and even though a hobbling Smith characteristically scored the Dons' winner late on in the game, this proved to be his last game for the club as he was one of a number of players released on 21 May 2007.
After impressing in several games in pre-season whilst on trial at Brentford, Smith was offered and signed a one-year contract at Griffin Park in June 2007. This was then extended at the start of 2008.
