Jeyland Mitchell, the Costa Rican defender, was born on the 29th of September 2004, making him a sprightly 21 years of age. Standing at a formidable 6ft 1in (1.87m) and weighing in at 12st 12lb (82kg), Mitchell currently dons the number 2 jersey for Sturm Graz, with his game primarily pivoted on the role of a central defender. This solid defence state is mirrored in his endeavours for the Costa Rican national team.
Currently, Mitchell's market value holds strong at about £1.7m, a tidbit gleaned from Transfermarkt.
In July 2024, Mitchell saw his footballing journey carry him from Alajuelense in the Costa Rican Primera División to the highly esteemed Feyenoord in the Dutch Eredivisie. A move that secured him a hearty £2.2m, no doubt sweetly lining the pockets of his agent. His debut season, spanning from 2024 to 2025, with the Dutch team was mildly understated, with our hero making a single first-team appearance in league matches.
Come September 2025, Mitchell was on the move again, this time on a loan transfer from Feyenoord to Sturm Graz in the Austrian Bundesliga, a league that has seen the growth of many illustrious players. This season, during his tenure at Sturm Graz, Mitchell has solidified his position with two first-team league match appearances thus far.
Mitchell's international career has also seen an engaging narrative. His accomplishments include participation in the World Cup Qualifiers North & Central America 2024 - 2026 representing his homeland, Costa Rica, even managing to score a goal. Mitchell also featured in the Gold Cup 2025 and Copa America 2024, marking a respectable three starts on each occasion. Most recently, he made two appearances as a substitute in the Europa League 2025 - 2026 for his club team, Sturm Graz.
