It has been rapid rise up the divisions for the 24-year-old, but he is determined to prove himself at Blue Square Bet North level.
"The last two or three years have been a whirlwind for me," admitted Smith.
"Graham spotted me playing in the East Midlands Counties League and I had a season at Corby.
"He's given me chance at this level. I really respect that so I'm going to try my hardest while I'm here."
Smith, more accustomed to playing as a central striker, has been deployed on the wing by the Boston boss.
But it is a challenge the former King's Lynn forward is happy to take on.
"I like playing as a striker, but I don't mind playing on the wing, it's a new challenge," added Smith.
"Graham gives me the chance to express myself which is what I like. As long as I'm on the pitch I'll give 100 per cent.
"My work-rate is one of the my biggest things. I like to work hard for the gaffer and the team.
"I don't like losing. With the right work ethic, we can go far as a team.
"If we work hard and are hard to beat, we can be a force to be reckoned with."
