Jonathan Smith (born 28 February 1979) is a former New Zealand rugby league player. His position of preference was in the Second Row.

Playing career

A junior from the Mangere East Hawks, Smith was a Junior Kiwi in 1998. He was then signed by the Auckland Warriors in 2000.[1] While at the Warriors he played in the Queensland Cup for Wynnum Manly Seagulls and Brisbane Souths due to a feeder agreement between the clubs and also played for the Otahuhu Leopards in the Bartercard Cup.[2][3] He went on to make seven first grade appearances for the club between 2000 and 2001. Confusingly there was also a Jonathon Smith at the club at the same time, although he did not make any first grade appearances.[4] He came off contract at the end of the 2001 season and was not offered a new deal.[5]

He played for Otahuhu in the 2002 Bartercard Cup.

Representative career

Smith toured the Cook Islands in 1998 with the New Zealand Māori.[6]
