Jonathan Peter Smith (born 17 October 1986) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for League Two club Luton Town.
Smith started his career with Morecambe, who loaned him out to Fleetwood Town and Bamber Bridge. Having appeared twice for Morecambe he was released in 2007 and subsequently signed for Forest Green Rovers. After three years with Forest Green he signed for York City in 2010, but departed after a year to join Swindon Town. With them he won the League Two title in the 2011–12 season, but was transfer listed following their promotion and returned to York in 2012. He signed for Luton Town later that year, initially on loan, before signing permanently in 2013.
Born in Preston, Lancashire, Smith began his career with Morecambe, having progressed through the club's youth system. He made his first-team debut in the Football League Trophy fixture against Grimsby Town on 18 October 2005, with Smith scoring Morecambe's final penalty kick in their victorious penalty shoot-out. He joined Northern Premier League First Division outfit Fleetwood Town on loan in January 2006 and made his debut in a 2–0 victory at home to Belper Town on 28 January. He stayed at the club until April 2006, having made 16 appearances and scored one goal.
