AMERICAN defender Joshua Smith toasted his first Finn Harps goal last night – and has vowed to ‘do everything’ to keep the club in the top flight.

Smith headed home an early goal to secure a 1-0 win over Waterford that was Harps’ first win in eight on a night when their play-off place was mathematically secured. 

“It felt great and it’s a great privilege to play for the Harps at home,” Smith told Donegal Daily/Donegal Sport Hub.

“I told Harry (Ascroft) to do the run. He laughed at me so I did it. It was a great ball by Mark Timlin and all I had to do was get my head behind it.
