Anthony Smith (born 21 September 1971) is an English former professional footballer.

A defender, he previously played professionally in all three divisions of the Football League for Sunderland, Hartlepool United and Northampton Town. He began his managerial career in 2011, with non-league side Chester-le-Street Town, and also had spells managing Gateshead, West Auckland Town and Holland Park Hawks.

Career

[edit]

Smith began his career with Sunderland, making 25 appearances in all competitions without scoring in five seasons at the club.[1] He made 7 appearances for Hartlepool United on loan in 1992.[1] Smith went on to play 4 games for Northampton Town[1] before retiring due to injury at the age of 24.

Smith was named manager of Northern League side Chester-le-Street Town in September 2011,[2] but left the club in June 2012 to join Gateshead.[3]

On 10 December 2012, Smith was named caretaker manager at Gateshead after Ian Bogie and Terry Mitchell were relieved of their duties.[4] Three days later, Smith was named permanent manager and given a contract until the end of the 2012–13 season.[5] After a 17th-place finish, Smith was given a one-year contract for the 2013–14 season.[6] Smith resigned from his post on 18 August 2013 after defeats in the opening three games of the 2013–14 season.[7]

In August 2014, Smith was named manager of West Auckland Town.[8] Smith led West to the top of the table and with a nine-point lead, but due to executive interference, he resigned in December.[9] Smith joined Holland Park Hawks, but left the club in July 2017 because of visa issues.
