Early and personal life

Mitchell was born and raised in Hartlepool, and is a Hartlepool United supporter.[2] He attended High Tunstall College of Science, where he captained the rugby team.[2]

Career

Mitchell made his debut for Newcastle United's reserve team in January 2011 while still at school.[2] He spent time on loan at Workington during the second half of the 2012–13 season,[2] and returned to the club for a second loan spell in August 2013.[3]

He was released by Newcastle in June 2014, signing immediately for Derby County.[4][5] He said he was looking forward to working with Derby's goalkeeping coach Eric Steele.[6]

He made his professional debut on 9 January 2016 in the FA Cup.[7]

On 5 March 2016, Mitchell joined League Two club Luton Town on loan until the end of the 2015–16 season.[8] He made his debut on the same day in the 1–0 away win at Leyton Orient.[9]

On 21 March 2016, Mitchell was named in the Sky Bet 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.[10][11]

Following an injury to Lee Grant, Derby recalled Mitchell early from his loan on 5 April 2016.[12]
