James "Jimmy" Smith (born 7 January 1987 in Newham, England) is a professional footballer, currently under contract at Chelsea F.C.. He is an attacking-midfielder by trade and made his first appearance for the Chelsea first team in the last game of the 2005-06 Premiership season, coming on as a substitute for Ricardo Carvalho against Newcastle United. He had been part of the Chelsea Academy for nearly three years when he was first called into the First Team, and José Mourinho has stated that he wishes for more young players to follow in Smith's footsteps and become part of the main squad. On September 27, 2006 Jimmy joined Queens Park Rangers F.C. on loan for an initial month.
In that month Smith impressed, scoring twice in his first two games, and impressed the QPR management team enough that it was announced in October 2006 his loan spell would be extended for a further two months. Later on in the year, QPR announced they have extended the loan until the end of the season.
On 4/11/06 Jimmy Smith scored two goals against Crystal Palace at Loftus Road to help QPR win 4-2, the first goal was a particularly good goal, a volley after a good chest control on the edge of the area, he got a second with a neat header.
