Dylan Smith

Dylan Smith of Ross County was born on 21 January 2006 (age 20).

Dylan Smith, born on 21 January 2006 (age 20), is a Scottish central defender whose senior career has been shaped overwhelmingly at Ross County. An imposing presence at 6ft 3in (1.90m), he has built his football in Dingwall rather than through a scattered run of short stops.

His busiest league campaign came in 2022-23, when he made 13 appearances for County. Across five seasons he has reached 47 league appearances, a fair body of work for a young defender still developing in a position that rarely offers easy lessons.

In 2025-26, Smith made four League Cup appearances and one in the Scottish Cup for Ross County. His career remains closely tied to County: a tall Scottish centre-half, brought on through steady exposure rather than fuss.
