Alex Smithies is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on March 5, 1990 in Huddersfield, Huddersfield, United Kingdom. Alexander Smithies (born 5 March 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Championship club Cardiff City. Smithies is a product of the Huddersfield Town academy who first came into prominence during the 2007–08 season. He joined Queens Park Rangers in 2015 where he played for three years before joining Cardiff City.

Smithies’ first appearance at the Galpharm Stadium for a first-team match was on 6 December 2008. In this match, caretaker manager Gerry Murphy dropped regular goalkeeper Matt Glennon in favour of the young custodian, who went on to help Huddersfield to a 2–1 victory over Walsall. The first clean sheet he kept for the club came on 13 December 2008. In the 1–0 win over Southend United, Smithies saved a penalty from James Walker, 10 minutes from time. Smithies became the first choice keeper for the remainder of the 2008–09 season and, after the arrival of manager Lee Clark, made the number one jersey his own.

Throughout the 2009–10 season, Smithies was the only player to play in each and every league and cup match for Huddersfield. He made 48 starts, 17 of which resulted in a clean sheet for the Terriers. His contribution in helping Huddersfield to a final position inside the League One playoffs was reflected by him winning the club’s Young Player of the Year Trophy.

On 24 August 2010, Smithies received his first call-up to the England U-21’s for their matches against Portugal U-21’s and Lithuania U-21’s.

Having come through the Academy of the club he grew up supporting, Smithies made his first-team debut on 5 December 2007. He came on as a 76th-minute substitute for the red-carded Matt Glennon during Huddersfield Town’s 4–1 defeat by Southend United at Roots Hall. His first full start came in the 4–0 defeat at Leeds United on 8 December, after Glennon lost an appeal against his dismissal and Town were refused permission to loan an emergency goalkeeper on the grounds that Smithies was registered as a professional.

His first match for the U19’s came against Spain U-19 at Bournemouth’s Dean Court ground on 10 February 2009, in a 3–0 defeat.

He has four caps for the England U-16’s and 10 caps for the England U-17’s including five during the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup in South Korea. In this competition he helped England U-17’s make it to the Quarter-finals, before they were eventually eliminated by Germany after a 4–1 defeat.

In conceding just 56 goals in such a competitive campaign, he won both praise and admiration from many quarters; earning the Football League’s ‘Young Player of the Month’ award in February 2010 along the way. On 17 November 2009 Smithies was linked with Stoke City after a scout from the club was the latest in a long string of Premier League interest to be seen at the Galpharm. This interest was played down by Lee Clark and Tony Coton, and Smithies insisted he was happy to be at Huddersfield. Smithies was named as the Football League Young Player of the Month for February 2010 after keeping three clean sheets in seven undefeated Huddersfield Town matches.
