Jay Smith (born 24 September 1981 in London) is an English professional football midfielder and is a free agent.
Playing career
Smith started his professional football career with Aston Villa. After a season, he was transferred to Southend United.
Signed in 2002 after a successful loan spell and turning down the advances of Hull City, Smith made his debut in August the same year and quickly became a regular in the Blues side.
A horrendous spell of injuries, including a broken ankle, has interrupted his career. Towards the end of the 2005–06 season, Smith was loaned out to Oxford United - and despite impressing manager Jim Smith during the run-in, it was not enough to save Oxford from dropping out of the football league.
Steve Tilson has always maintained that there was a place for a fit Jay Smith in the Southend squad and even after speaking to Oxford about a permanent deal for 2006–07, Smith and Southend committed to each other again and he signed on for another year at Roots Hall.
On 26 January 2007, Smith was released from Southend and made a permanent switch to Notts County after a successful two month loan spell. He was released from his contract in January 2009 five months early along with striker Spencer Weir-Daley.
