Liam Smith

• Liam Smith, 2024 (PTFC) Liam Kevin Smith was born on Tuesday, 28th October, 2003, in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire. The 5' 9 (10st 9lbs) forward temporarily transferred to Kris Doolan's Thistle on Friday, 23rd August, 2024, from his parent club, Swansea City. Aged 20, he made his debut appearance on Saturday, 31st August, 2024, in a 3-0 win at home to Queen's Park in the SPFL Championship. We look forward to seeing Liam scoring his first goal for Thistle. His club-list includes Manchester City, Swansea City and Partick Thistle. He's contracted at Firhill until May, 2025.

Bio Extra

In August 2024, the 20-year-old left-sided attacker returned to his homeland, having been a product of Kilmarnock’s youth academy before signing for Manchester City in 2020. Capped by Scotland at multiple age levels, Liam featured in the Under 18 Premier League and the Premier League 2 winning the former twice and the latter once during his time in Manchester. He played for City up to U-21 level and did likewise at Swansea City, having made the switch to South Wales in January 2023, joining on a two-and-a-half year deal. At Swansea, he spent time training with Luke Williams' senior squad at the beginning of the 2024-25 season, just before making the season-long loan-switch to Partick Thistle. Kris Doolan said: Liam is a player who Paul, our assistant manager, knew from his time as the Academy director at Kilmarnock so that connection got the ball rolling and we were able to get Liam in for a few days of training this week which gave us a good chance to look at him. In terms of a footballing education, he’s been at one of the world’s best academies for three years and then spent a further year-and-a-half at another really good club so he’s been well-coached and had the opportunity to play with and against a whole host of quality players. Now, of course, it’s a different kettle of fish as he looks to make an impact at first team level in the Scottish Championship but he’s got the traits to do really well. We’re really pleased to have him for the season.
