CELTIC, Stoke and Birmingham are believed to be keeping tabs on former Littleton striker Matt Smith.

The 6ft 6ins target man has caught the eye of higher-level suitors following his FA Cup exploits against Premier League opposition for Oldham Athletic.

Smith scored twice in the 3-2 fourth-round victory over Liverpool before netting to force a replay against Everton in the fifth round, in which he also grabbed the consolation goal in a 3-1 defeat at Goodison Park.

The 23-year-old has only been a professional for two seasons following a meteoric rise which started at Midland Combination side Littleton.
