Liam Smith

Liam Smith of St Johnstone was born in Dalgety Bay, Scotland on 10 April 1996 (age 30).

Liam Smith, born on 10 April 1996 (age 30), is a Scottish right-back with St Johnstone, where he wears squad number 33. A steady domestic professional rather than a headline act, he has built his profile around regular work on the right side of defence.

His most productive league season came with St Johnstone in 2025-2026, when he scored three goals in 25 appearances. That is useful output from full-back, even if nobody is pretending he is a converted winger in disguise.

In 2026-2027, Smith has made five league appearances for St Johnstone. His market value is around £128,000, according to Transfermarkt.

Smith’s career sits firmly in the established Scottish professional bracket: a right-back with St Johnstone, a solid body of league football behind him, and a recent season that added a little more end product to his usual defensive brief.
