Smith returns to Spartanburg Methodist College after spending the 2023 season at the University of South Carolina Upstate, where he was an assistant coach for the Spartans. Prior to joining the Spartans staff, Smith was a volunteer coach at SMC for two years. While at SMC, Smith assisted with practice and game day responsibilities and the recruitment of future Pioneers. Smith played collegiate soccer for Limestone from 2006-2007 before serving in the Marine Corps for ten and a half years. Upon retiring from the Marine Corps, Smith continued his collegiate career, playing at Palomar College in California.

“It is with immense pride and a deep sense of responsibility that I accept the role of head coach for the Men’s Soccer team at Spartanburg Methodist College,” Smith said. “I am fully dedicated to cultivating a program that not only competes at the highest levels but also instills the values of teamwork, discipline, and academic excellence in every athlete. I would like to thank President Scott Cochran and Athletic Director Megan Aiello for this opportunity.”

Smith will complete his Bachelor of Science in Sports Coaching from the United States Sports Academy later this year.
