Career

Smyth first played hurling with the Feakle-Killanena underage amalgamation. He enjoyed some success as a juvenile, winning the Clare U14HC title in 2017, before losing the Clare MAHC final in 2020.[1][2] Smyth also played as a schoolboy with Gort Community School in the various Connacht competitions.[3] He won an All-Ireland freshers league title with the University of Limerick in 2022.[4]

Smyth first appeared on the inter-county scene with Clare during a two-year tenure with the minor team in 2019 and 2020. His second year on the team was curtailed due to a broken collar bone.[5] Smyth later spent two seasons with the under-20 team and was the team's overall top scorer in 2023 when they were beaten by Cork in the Munster final.[6] Smyth has been a part of the senior team since 2022.
