Trellevyn Harvey Smith (3 April 1920 – 17 October 2000) was an English international rugby union player.
Smith was born in Bedford and raised in Northamptonshire, attending Kettering Grammar School. He served in Belgium, France, Holland and Germany during World War II. After the conflict, Smith began playing for local side Kettering, which he captained in the 1948–49 season, before crossing over to Northampton.[1]
A hooker, Smith was an East Midlands representative and was capped for England in a 1951 Five Nations match against Wales at Swansea. He was an England reserve on several other occasions, without adding to his solitary cap.[2]
Smith later ran a garage in Brigstock which sold and repaired farm machinery.[3]
