I don't know much about young Johann except he's bloody quick!!!

 

His first season in the main squad after coming through the academy ranks.

 

On the fringes of the first team squad - made his debut this season on the 25th October away at Charlton in the League Cup and as probably got his fingers crossed that he will be appearing in Bolton's FA Cup sides later in the season.

 

Johann Smith

 

 

Born: 25th April 1987, Harford, Connecticut, USA

 

International Honours: USA Youth

 

Position: Forward/Attacking Midfield

 

Squad Number: 42

 

Former Clubs: Oakwood Soccer Club

 

American striker with a quick turn of pace who first came to England on trial in December 2004 when Bolton's Academy recruitment officer Geoff McDougle spotted him following a trip to the States.

 

Smith was later offered an Academy scholarship to join up with Bolton and went on to make an notable impression during the club's 2005 pre-season tour of the Far-East.

 

Definately one to look out for in the future, the Connecticut-born speedster hit six reserve team goals during the 2005-2006 season and was named as the most improved young player in the end of season awards.

 

Here he is scoring in a pre-season friendly -

He's the same price as Gabriel Agbonlahor in the Telegraph Fantasy League.

 

Think O'Neill would be up for a swap deal?

He's quick but from what I've seen needs to learn to play the game properly; mainly positioning and how to finish.

could do with sending him out on loan for a few months to get games at a senior level. his pace is frightning but he needs to learn how to make the most of it
