Another Mr Versatile, long-serving Smith signed for Harriers in 1997 for £19,000 from non-league rivals Bromsgrove Rovers.

Smith's performances in non-league earned him three caps for the England semi-professional team as well as a Nationwide Conference team of the year place during the championship win.

Surprised many with six goals from midfield during the first season in Division Three but had an injury-plagued second season.

Smith, who has tremendous aerial ability despite being under 6ft tall and excellent pace, perhaps suffers due to his versatility and will be looking to pin down a regular first-team place this season.

League appearances/goals: Harriers (2000/01) 34/5, (2001/02) 36/2, (02/03) 30/1.

This season: 23 games, 4 substitute appearances, 2 yellow cards.

Status: First-choice defender.

Average Shuttle rating: 6.2 (2 star man awards)
