After trials with Brentford, Reading, Wycombe, and Aldershot,[6] Mitchell signed for Millwall in 2018,[4] the same year he was voted the club's Academy Schoolboy of the Year,[7] spending time on loan at non-league Bromley,[8] before signing a new long-term contract with Millwall in August 2021.[9] Later that month he moved on loan to Leyton Orient.[4][10][11]

In July 2022 he moved on loan to Scottish club St Johnstone.[12][13] He was named as Young Player of the Year in May 2023.[14]

On 17 August 2023, he joined Lincoln City on a season-long loan.[15][16] He made his debut coming off the bench in a 3-0 win against Blackpool on 26 August 2023.[17] Mitchell scored his first Lincoln goal on 21 October against Fleetwood Town.[18] Mitchell was named as the club's Player of the Month for October 2023.[19]

On 24 June 2024, Mitchell joined League One side Charlton Athletic on a three-year contract, for an undisclosed fee.[20][21]
