The TSI World Bees are delighted to announce that Josh Smith has re-signed for the club for the 2023/2024 season.

Josh signs up for 5th his consecutive season in the black, white and gold of the Bees – his 8th in total.

A Bracknell junior, Smith made his senior debut for the Bracknell Hornets in the 2013/2014 season. His Bees debut would come the following season when he stepped up to EPIHL action whilst also sharing time with the Hornets in NIHL 1. Smith would make the full time move to the Bees ahead of the 2015/2016 season and would spend two years in the Bees’ attack before heading down the road to the Basingstoke Bison. After a season in Hampshire, he would again return to Bracknell and the Bees and has been a presence at the club ever since.

Glad to have Smithy back for another season. He’s got experience and he is great in the locker room. He can play in any role on the team and that’s why he will be an important part of the team this season.
