Cameron Smith (born 18 June 1983) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who currently captains the Australian national team, the Queensland State of Origin team, as well as his National Rugby League club, the Melbourne Storm. A goal-kicking hooker, he has played his whole NRL career to date with the Storm with whom he won the 2006 Dally M Medal and the 2007, 2009 and 2012 NRL Grand Finals. In 2007 Smith was awarded the Golden Boot Award as the world's best international player and he captained Australia to victory in the 2013 World Cup.
Born in Brisbane, Queensland on 18 June 1983, as a youth Smith played at hooker for the Logan Brothers, Logan City. There he also attended Marsden State High School. After scoring 188 points for the Norths Devils in the Queensland Cup he moved up to the NRL with the Melbourne Storm club.
Smith's first two games for Melbourne were during the 2002 NRL season, both played at half-back. The following year he played as the Storm's hooker. In 2003 the Queensland rugby league team were without a specialist hooker. After experimenting with different players in the position for the first two matches of the 2003 State of Origin series and losing both, Smith was named at hooker for the third match (and for the next six years no other player would wear the number 9 for the Maroons until this run of 19 consecutive Origins was cut due to injury). He was named the Melbourne Storm's rookie of the year in 2003.
