Daniel Smith (born 20 March 1993) is a professional rugby league footballer who last played as a prop and loose forward for Bradford Bulls in the RFL Championship.

He previously played for Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, Huddersfield Giants and Castleford Tigers in the Super League, and South Sydney Rabbitohs in the NRL.

He has spent time at Oldham, Featherstone Rovers and Halifax Panthers on dual registration from Leeds, Wakefield and Castleford respectively.

Smith moved to Australia in 2013 to play for South Sydney Rabbitohs under-20 side, where he made 24 appearances.

"[11] Smith returned to England at the end of the year, signing a two-year contract with the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in October 2013.

[14] In 2015, he made a further 19 appearances and scored 4 tries, before leaving for Huddersfield in July as part of a deal that saw Anthony Mullally move the other way.

[16] On 27 March 2019, Huddersfield announced that, as of 1 April, Smith would be released from the final year of his contract due to "him not featuring in [head coach] Simon [Woolford]'s plans".

Castleford Director of Rugby Jon Wells said, "Daniel has been a target of ours for some time now and we are fortunate that the opportunity has arisen to bring him to the club earlier than we anticipated.

A pectoral injury disrupted his return upon Super League's resumption in August and limited him to 10 appearances that year.

In May 2023, it was announced that Smith would depart Castleford with immediate effect after his loan move to Featherstone Rovers was made permanent.

[32] On 26 Nov 2024 it was reported that he had left Bradford Bulls by mutual consent due to external work commitments.
