NEW SIGNING: Jonathan Mitchell

The 6ft 2in, 25 year old keeper has a fair amount of EFL experience under his belt. He spent the first half of the 2018/19 season on loan with Oxford United in Sky Bet League One, playing 15 times and recording six clean sheets.

Mitchell started his career at Newcastle United but has spent the last six years at Derby, although he’s made only five cup appearances for the Rams during that period.

The second half of that campaign was also spent in League One with Shrewsbury Town. Mitchell made nine appearances for the Shrews and kept four clean sheets, leading to a total ten clean sheets in 24 League 1 appearances that season.about:blank

Either side of those spells, he played five games for Luton Town in a previous loan spell and appeared 11 times for Macclesfield Town in 2019/20 before the season was suspended because of COVID-19.
