Only 3 of the 14 matches for the 2004/05 season did Smith start, at home to Crewe on 25 September and at Coventry and home to Leeds in November. All three games he was substituted.

In November 2004 he joined Sammy McIlroy again as his capacity as Stockport manager and made his debut in a 3-1 FA Cup victory over Huddersfield and made one league appearance.

Smith was finally put out of his misery at Preston and was released on a free transfer on 23 February 2007.
