editAfter beginning his career at Ayr United, but having not featured in the first team Mitchell joined Stranraer on loan in July 2009,[1] then made the move permanent in June 2010.[2] He stated that his decision to make the initial loan move was to achieve his ambition of first team football which he felt he wouldn't get at Ayr.[3] Mitchell was part of the club's successful promotion campaign in 2012, when having initially lost against Albion Rovers in the play-offs, Stranraer were promoted to the Scottish Second Division due to the demise of Rangers.[3] During the 2014–15 season, Scottish Championship side Hibernian were reported to be interested in signing Mitchell.[4]
