Johann Smith (born April 25, 1987 in Hartford, Connecticut) is an American soccer player who currently plays for FC Edmonton in the North American Soccer League as a forward, winger, and left back.
Smith grew up in Bloomfield, Connecticut and attended the Watkinson School, where he played varsity soccer for four years, garnering All-State honors during his junior and senior campaigns. In addition, Smith also enjoyed success on the school's track and field team, once running the 100 meters in 10.5 seconds. Smith also played club soccer for Oakwood Soccer Club, and it was while playing for Oakwood that he was discovered by scouts from Bolton Wanderers; impressed by what they saw, Smith was offered a three-year scholarship contract with Bolton's youth academy.
Smith was named as a Bolton substitute for games against Tottenham Hotspur and Charlton Athletic during the early part of the 2006-07 season. He made his first team debut for Bolton in their League Cup defeat at Charlton Athletic in October 2006, and made his Premier League debut against Manchester United on October 28, 2006, as an 85th-minute substitute for Kevin Davies.
