Zach Mitchell took his inaugural breath on the 9th of January 2005, his early life taking shape in England. Now, at a sprightly age of 20, he allocates his footballing prowess to St Johnstone. Mitchell has molded himself into a reliable defender who primarily operates in the heart of the defence. His physicality can, to a certain degree, be attributed to his towering height of 6ft (1.85m) and robust weight of 12st 12lb (82kg). His talents have been recognised by St Johnstone who have honoured him with the number 5 jersey.
Considered by many as a diamond in the rough, Mitchell is currently valued at a modest £170k according to Transfermarkt. As it stands, Mitchell's contractual obligations with St Johnstone are set to conclude by the end of May 2025
Mitchell's professional footballing journey began in July 2022 with Charlton Athletic in England's League One. His time with Charlton in his debut season was comparatively brief, managing to contribute a solitary first-team appearance during the 2022 - 2023 season.
In September of 2023, he moved from Charlton Athletic in League One to Colchester United in League Two, albeit on a temporary basis. Mitchell's tenacity saw him return to Charlton Athletic the next year in June 2024 on completion of his loan. His second stint at Charlton mirrored his first, seeing him make a single appearance in the first team during the 2022 - 2023 season.
February 2025 saw Mitchell make another journey north, this time to St Johnstone in Scotland's Premiership, again on a loan stint. With the 2024 - 2025 season in motion, Mitchell has made eight first-team appearances for St Johnstone.
His Scottish pilgrimage has also had him represent St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 season with one start and one substitute appearance to his name.
