Richard Money’s side have sealed second spot in the league with one game left to play, meaning they will learn their opposition for the play-offs after the weekend’s fixtures.
A former Middlesbrough youngster, Smith joined the Foxes in 2011 as a second year scholar before penning a professional deal later that year and going on to feature heavily for Steve Beaglehole’s successful Under-21s side.
During his time with the Foxes, Smith has taken in loan spells at Chesterfield, Lincoln City and Nuneaton, as well as a spell with Graham Westley’s Stevenage earlier this term.
A commanding figure in goal, Smith was part of the group to win the prestigious Hong Kong Soccer 7s title last summer, and his impressive performances for the Under-21s this season have been key in securing a top-half finish in the Barclays U21 Premier League.
