Always a quality opponent. 

he can focus on his acting now. ????

Good luck to him in his retirement. I’m surprised to see this just three games into the season.

Strange for him to retire so early in the season, but I wish him luck in his retirement.

Will he go into coaching or punditry? I wish him all the best; he's had a good career.

He looks different without the wig!

I never liked him. I thought he could be a dirty striker and overly physical. It’s not terrible news that he is retiring, but I would say good luck nonetheless.

Matt Smith has been a decent striker at various levels. I thought he played dirty against Notts before, but retirement is a sad time for any player. I hope he finds something to do with his spare time.

Good luck to Matt Smith. When he left Salford, he said it was with a heavy heart, and now he’s retired. I wasn’t aware he came into football late, at 20, I think I read.

I'll reserve my thoughts of him as a player, instead choosing to wish him well in retirement and acknowledge that he has been a good player for those he played for. He certainly scored some good goals in his time.

I am surprised that Matt Smith has retired. But he could be a bit dirty. He was a good striker but had his tricks, such as elbowing defenders.

It’s sad when players retire. I wish him all the best. I miss Jim O’Brien more than Michael Doyle.
