Caitlin joined Argyle from Reading and boasts experience with Southampton and Chelsea’s youth setup, as well as Clemson Tigers in the United States of America. 

Starting her youth career on the south coast, a move from Southampton to Chelsea came about due to her exciting talent on offer. With the Blues, Smith also featured in England’s under-17s, -18s and -19s squads, including UEFA European Championship Qualifiers. 

The 20-year-old was then offered the opportunity to move stateside and joined NCAA Division 1 side Clemson Tigers. Smith called the South Carolina-based university home for two years, featuring 25 times, whilst also being named to the 2022/23 All-ACC Academic Team for her work off the pitch. 

She returned to England in 2023 to join Reading and is excited to get under way at Home Park with the Greens, having trained with the squad for a few weeks prior to signing.
