He fielded with local club Batterstown in both codes but when the club was unable to muster enough players, he lined out with Flathouse with whom he won a junior championship medal in hurling. He also played both codes with Ratoath before lining out with Oberstown in hurling and Skryne in Gaelic football, helping the latter to five championship victories. He finished his hurling career with Dunboyne. Smyth made his debut on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Meath junior hurling team in 1944. An All-Ireland medal winner in this code, he joined the Meath senior football team for the 1946 championship. Smyth went on to play a key role during a hugely successful era, and won two All-Ireland medals, four Leinster medals and one National League medal. The All-Ireland-winning captain of 1949, Smyth was also an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions. Smyth was a member of the Leinster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, however, he never won a Railway Cup medal. He retired from inter-county football following the conclusion of the 1957 championship. In retirement from playing, Smyth became involved in team management and administration. His involvement as a trainer was short-lived, however, he guided Drumree to championship success in the junior grade in 1959. Smyth became involved in administrative affairs as a teenager when he took over as secretary of the Batterstown club. He was secretary of the Meath Hurling Board on two occasions, before serving as chairman of the Meath County Board between 1979 and 1985. Honours
