Rhodri Smith

Rhodri Smith of Young Boys was born on 9 September 2006 (age 19).

Rhodri Smith, born on 9 September 2006 (age 19), is a Swiss left-back on the books at Young Boys. His current market value is around £425,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His senior career is still at an early stage, but the clearest spell so far has come with Winterthur. In one season there, Smith made 13 league appearances without scoring, giving him more sustained first-team exposure than he has yet had at Young Boys.

The 2025–26 season was split between the two clubs. He made five league appearances for Young Boys, then 13 for Winterthur, before returning to Young Boys and adding another five league outings. That is a modest body of work, but it gives the outline of a young full-back moving between development minutes and a bigger squad role.

Smith remains primarily associated with Young Boys, where he wears squad number 66, but Winterthur has done most to shape his senior profile so far. His career to date is short, practical and still being formed.

Rhodri Smith made 18 Super League appearances in 2025-26, with five for Young Boys before his loan and 13 for Winterthur. He did not score, which fits a left-back profile, but the split suggests his main senior minutes came away from his parent club rather than as an established Young Boys regular.

Smith's senior pathway remained narrow: developed at Young Boys, a loan to Winterthur, then a return to Young Boys. At 19, the pattern pointed more to managed development than a settled first-team role, with the Winterthur spell providing the larger sample of league exposure.

The transfer record showed a trainee move into Young Boys in 2021, followed by a mid-season loan to Winterthur in February 2026 and a return in June. There were no reported fees, so the movement read as a development loan rather than a permanent step up or down.
