Angelo Smith is a Fijian rugby union player, currently playing for the Rebels. His preferred position is lock.[1]
Early career
Smith attended Marist Brothers High School and St Thomas High School, where he was a teammate of Fiji international Chris Minimbi.[2] After visiting family in New Zealand, Smith was invited to feature for the New Zealand Fiji Schoolboys team, although he could not raise enough money to join the academy in New Zealand full time.[3]
Professional career
Smith received his big break when representing Wests Rugby in the Hospital Cup, where the Wests Bulldogs ended a 16-year drought to win the trophy.[4] With the Wests club having a close connection with the Melbourne Rebels side, he was first offered a pre-season contract with the club for the 2022 off-season.[5] He signed full time with the side in January 2023,[6] before making his Rebels debut in Round 2 of the 2023 Super Rugby Pacific season against the Hurricanes.[7]
Smith has also represented Fiji U20s.[8]
