Gordon Smith (born 14 February 1991 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Hearts as a striker.
Contents |
Born in Edinburgh, Smith played for Hibs' youth teams as a goalscoring midfielder, but was released by the club after he went on a two day trial with Newcastle United.[1] He then signed for Livingston, who coached him to play as a striker.[1] and gave him some appearances in the First Division.
In the summer of 2009, with Livingston experiencing financial difficulties, Smith allowed his contract to expire and then signed for Hearts.[1] It was originally intended that he would play for their under 19 squad, but Csaba László promoted him to the first team after it became clear that the club would not sign another striker.[2] He made his debut as a second half substitute against Dinamo Zagreb in a UEFA Europa League tie.[3] Smith scored his first goal for the club in his first league appearance, scoring Hearts' goal in a 1–1 draw with Edinburgh derby rivals Hibs at Easter Road. [4]
Smith's father, also called Gordon, played for Hearts and several other Scottish Football League clubs.[1] His brother, Kevin Smith, has played for Dundee United and Raith Rovers amongst others.[1]
