George Smeath featured during the recently-renamed Exeter City’s first season in 1904/05 when he made his only first-team appearance. 

He appears to have played just once for the first-team in a weakened team against Dawlsh on 5 November 1904.

[The 1901 census for Exeter recorded George Smeath (17), a grocer’s clerk. The death is also recorded in Exeter for a George Smeath of a similar age on 23 November 1905]
