How Acquired
Via trade with New England Revolution on 08/15/08, for allocation money and the teams swapped rankings. Toronto went from 13th to 2nd in the allocation rankings.This young, speedy forward was a great addition by the coaching staff with many other clubs seeking his services. With a pace equal to that of his teammate Marvell Wynne, Smith occasionally played on the wing where his speed was very beneficial in getting by defenders delivering crosses into the box. He received limited playing time in 2008, but he'll look to bolster his numbers after a strong pre-season with the entire team.
