At Northampton, he has been instrumental in their successes, including a match-winning penalty against Bath in January 2025.
His commitment to England was further solidified when he turned down a lucrative offer from the rebel R360 competition, choosing to focus on his international aspirations.
Wilkinson praised Smith’s mindset and adaptability, noting:
“A brilliant opportunity. A great talent. An amazing mindset, and is already starting to push the limits of the league at such a young age.”
