Smit, who has been playing as a number 10 since his time at Jong AZ under Leeroy Echteld, believes he can bring extra quality to the team. He has been keeping an eye on his progress, and AZ has proven to be a supplier of players to Jong Oranje. Smit had expected to leave AZ this summer, but stayed in Alkmaar.
The 20-year-old midfielder hopes to show his skills and prove himself worthy of a spot in the Oranje team. He is currently playing for AZ and is focused on improving his game. Smit's ambition is to become the new number 10 of Oranje, and he believes his playing style, which allows him to be closer to the goal, can bring more attacking opportunities to the team. Xavi Hernández, the coach of Jong Oranje, is keeping an eye on Smit's development.
