Kevin James Smith (born 20 March 1987) is a Scottish professional footballer who currently plays forward for East Fife. He has previously played for Leeds United, Sunderland, Dundee United, Notts County, Queen of the South and Dumbarton, and has also appeared for Wrexham, Dundee and Raith Rovers on loan.
Born in Edinburgh, Kevin Smith attended Musselburgh Grammar School.
Smith began his career with Leeds United, but was allowed to leave and signed for Sunderland in January 2006. He had loan spells with Wrexham and Dundee but could not break into Sunderland's first team and was released in June 2007 after eighteen months at the club.
After a lengthy period without a club, Smith began training with Dundee United in April 2008. He appeared as an unused substitute in the final two matches of the season and subsequently signed a one-year contract.
In July 2008, six days after appearing against them in a friendly, Smith undertook a five-month loan spell with Raith Rovers, scoring in his second match for the club. Smith was recalled from his loan spell in January 2009 after scoring 12 goals in 17 appearances for Raith; however, on 23 January 2009 he was allowed to return to the Kirkcaldy club until the end of the season. In April 2009, after helping Raith to top of the table with three games remaining, Smith suffered a broken leg and dislocated ankle, ruling him out for six months. Following his recovery from this injury he was loaned to Raith for a third time as he sought to recover his match fitness. He helped Rovers to that season's Scottish Second Division Championship.
