The centre signed for the Cardiff Blues in 2013 after graduating from playing for Cardiff RFC. Smith previously played for Neath in 2009/10 before spending a season in Australia where he turned out for Brisbane Bulldogs.

Richard’s pace gained him a spot on the sevens circuit during the summer of 2011 where he played for Wales in three of the four legs of the FIRA series, playing in Bucharest, Barcelona and Moscow. He then played in every tournament of the 2012 HSBC world sevens series, scoring a total of 26 tries.
