Blue Square Bet Premier club Kettering Town have signed veteran forward Martin Smith on non-contract terms.
Sunderland born Smith started his career on Wearside and he went on to score twenty-eight times in 107 starts for his home-town club in a seven-year spell, moving to Sheffield United, before joining Huddersfield Town.
Smith went on to score thirty goals in seventy-five starts, including seventeen during the 2002/03 season as the Terriers were relegated.
He signed for Northampton Town in July 2003 and continued to find the net fairly regularly for the Cobblers during their promotion from League Two during the 2005/06 season.
At the end of that season, after manager Colin Calderwood`s departure for Nottingham Forest, Smith moved back to the north-east by joining Darlington.
However, in March 2008, the former England under-21 international`s contract with Darlington was cancelled and he signed for Blue Square North side Blyth Spartans, but he hasn`t played for some time.
