Adam James Smith (born 29 April 1991) is an English footballer who plays for Tottenham Hotspur.
Smith is a product of the Tottenham Hotspur youth academy. On 8 August 2009 he made his Football League debut for Wycombe Wanderers away at Charlton Athletic.[2]
After his short loan spell, which ended on 5 September, he was selected to represent the England Under 19s in the 2010 European qualifactions in Slovenia. Smith made his England debut and played 90 minutes in the final group game against Slovakia which England won 2–0.[3]
On 20 November 2009 Smith joined League Two outfit Torquay United on loan until January 2010.[4]
On 23 September 2010 Smith joined Bournemouth on a month loan deal.[5] He started his spell against Carlisle United in a game in which he won a sixty-fourth minute penalty, which new team-mate Michael Symes scored. The game finished 2-0 to Bournemouth and left them third in the table.
Smith was then part of the Bournemouth side who lost 2-0 at St. Mary's in a south coast derby with Southampton. The youngster was sent off late on following two bookable offences. He missed the trip to Brighton but returned for Bournemouth's 3-2 win against MK Dons, keeping up his 100% win ratio. This run was brought to an end when Smith played in a 2-1 defeat against Colchester at Dean Court on 30 October 2010. On 1 April Smith scored his first goal for the South Coast side in the 94th minute against Peterborough at London Road coming back from 3-1 down with 20 minutes to go after Steve Fletcher's bullet header gave Bournemouth the lead.
On 16 August 2011 it was announced that Smith had joined Milton Keynes Dons on a season-long loan deal. On 5 November, he got his first goal for the club against Rochdale scoring from distance.[6]
