Sue Smith (born November 24 1979) is a footballer, currently playing for Leeds Carnegie Ladies.

Sue played for Tranmere Rovers since she was a teenager, but after years of fielding several offers from top clubs around the country, she signed on for Leeds Carnegie (then called Leeds United Ladies) in the summer of 2002.

Sue has played for England from an early age and one of her brightest England moments was scoring a hat-trick of tremendous goals in a home friendly against Spain in February 2001.

She has twice won the Nationwide International Player Of The Year award – in 1999 and 2001.

Before winning the 1999 award, Sue represented her country when she was picked to play in a FIFA XI against the USA in a showpiece match.

She made her domestic comeback at the start of the 2002-03 season after suffering a broken leg and torn ligament damage after a training ground accident in February, and after featuring in the series of friendlies in the build-up to Euro 2005, narrowly missed selection in the final 20.

Sue bounced back in the best possible way, scoring against Austria in the first World Cup qualifier of the current campaign, and has been twice runner-up in the FA Women's Cup with her club Leeds United.

Sue is a regular contributor to the Yorkshire Evening Post's women's football section.
