Reece Steven Antoniye Mitchell (born 19 September 1995) is an English footballer who plays as a winger for Víkingur Ólafsvík.

Club career[edit]

Mitchell joined Chelsea's academy in 2005 as an under-11 and went on to make his under-18 debut as a 15-year old.[2] He went on to play for the club's development squad between 2014 and 2016.

On 29 June 2016, Mitchell rejected a new deal with Chelsea, in order to join League One side Chesterfield on a two-year deal.[3] On 9 August 2016, Mitchell made his professional debut in a 3–1 defeat in an EFL Cup tie against Rochdale, playing 64 minutes before being replaced by Curtis Morrison.[4] Four days later, Mitchell went on to make his Football League debut in a 3–1 victory over Swindon Town, replacing Jay O'Shea with eight minutes remaining.[5] He scored his first senior goal against the same club on 4 March 2017 in a 1–0 victory for the Spireites. He left the club by mutual consent in January 2018.[6]

On 10 January 2018, Mitchell signed for National League club Torquay United.[7] He went onto appear just twice for Torquay, before leaving at the end of his contract in June 2018.[8]

He was released by Torquay at the end of the 2017–18 season.[9]

In the summer of 2018, Mitchell joined National League South side Wealdstone and later had loan spells with Hendon[10] and Wingate & Finchley.[11] He finished the season with Farnborough before joining Haringey Borough and later rejoining Hendon in October 2018 on dual registration.[12][13]

In January 2020, Mitchell joined Belgian Second Amateur Division side KVK Westhoek.[14]

In October 2021, Mitchell joined Isthmian League South Central Division side Bracknell Town.[15]

In January 2022, Mitchell headed abroad again, this time to Iceland to join newly-relegated 2. deild karla side Víkingur Ólafsvík.[16]
