Mitch Ronnie Brundle (born 4 December 1994) is an English professional football manager and footballer, who plays as a midfielder for Southern Counties East League Premier Division club Lydd Town.

Career

[edit]

Brundle was born in Croydon, London.[3] He joined League One club Yeovil Town as a first-year scholar in May 2011, having formerly been a member of the youth systems of Millwall and Cambridge United.[5] Following the completion of his two-year scholarship, he was released along with his fellow scholars.[6]

Following his release by Yeovil, Brundle signed for League One club Bristol City.[citation needed] On 31 January 2014, Brundle joined League Two club Cheltenham Town on loan until the end of the season.[7] Brundle made his Football League debut in a 1–0 victory against Newport County on 22 February 2014.[8] Brundle returned from his loan spell at Cheltenham having made seven appearances for the League Two club.[citation needed] At the end of the 2013–14 season, Brundle was released by Bristol City after failing to make an appearance.[9]

Brundle signed for Conference Premier club Braintree Town on 30 July 2014 on a one-year contract.[10]

On 15 January 2016, Brundle joined National League South club Hemel Hempstead Town on loan for one month.[11]

Brundle signed for Braintree's fellow National League club Gateshead on 27 June 2016 on a one-year contract.[12] He was released by Gateshead after just one season at the club.[13]

Following his release from Gateshead, Brundle signed for fellow National League club Dover Athletic on 28 May 2017 on a two-year contract.[14]

Brundle signed for Dover's National League rivals Dagenham & Redbridge on 26 June 2019 on a two-year contract.[15] He was released by Dagenham along with five others in June 2021 following the expiration of his contract.[16]

Brundle signed for Barnet in July 2021 on a two-year contract.[17] He left the club in January 2022 by mutual consent.[18]

The following month he joined Farnborough.[19] Despite gaining promotion with the club, it was announced that Brundle would leave at the end of his contract in June.[20]

On 2 July 2022, Brundle returned to Dover Athletic following their relegation to the National League South, taking on the role of player/assistant manager.[21] Following the departure of Andy Hessenthaler in January 2023, Brundle was given joint-caretaker charge of the first-team with academy manager Mike Sandmann.[22] He was given the job on a permanent basis on 16 January 2023, making him the youngest manager ever in English football.[23] On 5 December 2023, Brundle was sacked with the club sitting in 23rd position, ten points from safety having accumulated just twelve points from twenty-one matches.[24]

In January 2024, Brundle returned to his playing career with SCEFL Premier Division club Lydd Town.[25]
