Smith made her Surrey debut in 2014 in a County Championship match against Warwickshire, making 13 runs batting at 7.[6] She made 60* in her second match, a victory against Yorkshire.[7] Smith quickly became a regular in Surrey's side, with her best seasons coming in 2018 and 2019, in which she hit 256 runs at 42.66 and 347 runs at 57.83, respectively.[8][9] In 2019, she was the third highest run-scorer in the whole tournament.[10]

Smith played every season of the Women's Cricket Super League for the Surrey Stars, including their title winning season in 2018.[11] In 2020, Smith played three games for the South East Stars in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, and took 3/25 in a match against Sunrisers.[12][13]

In February 2019, she was awarded a rookie contract by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for 2019.[15] In June 2019, she was added to England's squad for the third Women's One Day International (WODI) against the West Indies, and made her WODI debut in that match.[16] She did not bat, but took her maiden international wicket, dismissing Natasha McLean.[17]

On 18 June 2020, Smith was named in a squad of 24 players to begin training ahead of international women's fixtures starting in England following the COVID-19 pandemic, but did not play a match that summer.[18][4]
