Mitchell signed his first professional contract in 2012[5] and made 22 U21 Premier League appearances for the Development Squad during the 2012/13 season. He was rewarded for his progress by manager Paolo Di Canio picking him for the first team squad for the first time for the final game of the Premier League season against Tottenham Hotspur on 19 May 2013. Allotted the number 37 shirt, Mitchell made his professional debut when he replaced Danny Graham after 88 minutes in the 1–0 defeat.[6][7] Mitchell failed to receive a call into the first team during the 2013/14 season, but made 15 Development Squad appearances and scored three goals.
