About Sammy Smith
Born 2001. Sammy Smith is an American association football player.
College career Smith started all 18 games in her freshman season with the Boston College Eagles in 2019. She led the team with 8 goals, which included two braces – in a win against Princeton and a loss to Florida State – and was named to the ACC all-freshman team. She went on to be Boston College's leading scorer in three out of her four years on the team, finishing with 26 goals in 72 games.
Club career FHL and Breiðablik Smith signed her first professional contract with Icelandic club FHL, playing in the second-tier 1. deild kvenna, in February 2024. She scored 15 goals in 14 games, second in the league only to her teammate Emma Hawkins, as the club won the league title and earned promotion to the top-flight Besta deild kvenna. In August 2024, she joined first-tier club Breiðablik on loan until the end of the Besta deild kvenna season. In doing so, she achieved the rare combination of winning Iceland's second-division and first-division league titles in the same year.
Smith scored 12 goals in 24 league games in 2025, helping Breiðablik retain the league title. Later that month, she scored twice against Athlone Town in Champions League qualifying. Breiðablik lost in the next round but earned a place in the inaugural UEFA Women's Europa Cup. On November 19, she scored a goal and forced a stoppage-time own goal in a 4–2 win over Fortuna Hjørring in the second leg of the Europa Cup round of sixteen, helping Breiðablik overturn a three-goal deficit to advance to the quarterfinals.
Boston Legacy
