Born in Liverpool, Mitchell had spells at a very young age at Liverpool, Blackburn Rovers and Wigan Athletic, but was generally considered too small for his age. He joined the Tranmere Rovers Centre of Development at the age of 15 and blossomed under their care, and he had grown too. By the time Argyle came calling, he was 6ft 4in tall.
In August 2020 Mitchell made his debut for Warrington Town in the Northern Premier League Premier Division (tier 7), but with EFL clubs in the North West interested in him, the 17-year-old decided to make the long journey to Plymouth, attracted by his fellow Liverpudlian, Ryan Lowe. He signed full-time apprentice forms in September 2020 and immediately established his place in the under-18 team's defence. Just two months later he was given his first chance in the senior side, appearing as an 80th minute substitute in an EFL Trophy win over Newport County at Home Park.
2021-22 saw one-month work experience loans at Plymouth Parkway, Nantwich Town and back at Parkway again, before being released by Argyle at the end of the season. In the summer of 2022, still 19, he re-signed for Wigan Athletic as part of their under-21 squad.
After a successful loan spell with National League side AFC Fylde in the second half of the 2023-24 season, he signed a two-year deal at Fylde in July 2024.
