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]
Club 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 over Leyton Orient.[9]
On 21 March 2016, 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.[10][11] Following an injury to Lee Grant, Derby recalled Mitchell early from his loan on 5 April 2016.[12]
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.[13]
