Early and personal life

Mitchell was born and raised in Hartlepool, and is a Hartlepool United supporter.[3] He attended High Tunstall College of Science, where he captained the rugby team.[3]

Club career

Mitchell made his debut for Newcastle United's reserve team in January 2011 while still at school.[3] He spent time on loan at Workington during the second half of the 2012–13 season,[3] and returned to the club for a second loan spell in August 2013.[6]

He was released by Newcastle in June 2014, signing immediately for Derby County.[7][8] He said he was looking forward to working with Derby's goalkeeping coach Eric Steele.[9] He made his professional debut on 9 January 2016 in the FA Cup.[10]

On 5 March, Mitchell joined League Two club Luton Town on loan until the end of the 2015–16 season.[11] He made his debut on the same day in a 1–0 win away to Leyton Orient.[12]

On 21 March, Mitchell was named in the Football League Team of the Week for his performance against Plymouth Argyle two days earlier when he made a number of saves, mostly notably from Graham Carey and Gregg Wylde, keeping a clean sheet to help Luton earn a 1–0 away win.[13][14] Following an injury to Lee Grant, Derby recalled Mitchell early from his loan on 5 April.[15]

He moved on loan to Oxford United in August 2018 as cover for the injured Simon Eastwood.[16] He kept a clean sheet on his first-team debut (a 2–0 home victory over Coventry City in the EFL Cup[17]) and saved a penalty on his league debut, a 4–1 away defeat at Portsmouth.[18] Mitchell finished the loan with 15 appearances, with 10 of those appearances coming in the league.[19]

In January 2019 he moved on loan to Shrewsbury Town.[20][21] He signed on loan for Macclesfield Town in January 2020.[22]

International career

On 29 September 2016, Mitchell was called up to the England U21 squad for the first time for their 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification matches against Kazakhstan and Bosnia and Herzegovina.[23]
