Club career
[edit]Smillie came through the youth system at Queen of the South. He was promoted from the under-19s to the first team in August 2010 after agreeing a full-time contract with the club. His current contract, which expires at the end of May 2012, is supported by an apprenticeship scheme.[1]
He was first included in the matchday squad in the 2010–11 season, in a September 2010 league match away to Stirling Albion. On that occasion he was an unused substitute.[2] He made his first league appearance towards the end of the season, as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 win away to Raith Rovers in April 2011.[3][4] He went on to make a further four Scottish First Division appearances for the season.[5] He was an unused substitute in the final of the 2010–11 Scottish Challenge Cup, in which Queen of the South were defeated 2–0 by Ross County.[6][7]
Smillie continued to make a contribution to the first team in the 2011–12 season. He played in Queen of the South's first league match of the season against Livingston in a 2–2 draw and in their first 2011–12 Scottish League Cup fixture against Stranraer in a 2–1 victory.[8][9][10]
Smillie signed for Junior side Kilbirnie Ladeside on 10 July 2012 before moving to Petershill in August 2013.[11]
