Jamie Peter Smith (born 16 September 1989 in Leytonstone) is an English professional footballer who currently plays for English team Brighton & Hove Albion. Smith played for Walthamstow youth team Interwood. His fomer coach at Interwood, Trevor Bailey, brought him to Crystal Palace at the age of nine. Smith progressed through the youth ranks at Crystal Palace and was awarded a one-year contract in the summer of 2008. After failing to make an appearance for Crystal Palace, Smith was released from the club in the summer of 2009. His former coach at Palace, Gary Issott, said; "Jamie Smith is a diminutive attacking central midfielder in the mould of Eyal Berkovic. He is very clever and improved after a frustrating first year. He started this season well and, up until Christmas, his form was electric."
