Zach Mitchell, born 9 January 2005 in England, is a 20-year-old defender best known for his central defensive role at Hibernian. Standing at 6 feet tall (approximately 1.85 metres) and weighing in at a sturdy 12 stone 12 pounds (roughly 82kg), Mitchell brings a powerful physical presence to the pitch.
Mitchell's market value is gauged at roughly £170k, as suggested by Transfermarkt.
In July 2022, Mitchell began his professional career with Charlton Athletic, a Championship team in England, though he managed only a solitary first-team appearance in league matches during the 2022-2023 debut season.
He moved on loan to League Two outfit Colchester United in September 2023, and later returned to Charlton Athletic in June 2024 after completing his loan spell.
In February 2025, he switched loan arrangements to join St Johnstone in the Scottish Championship. During the 2024-2025 season, Mitchell featured in eight first-team league match appearances for St Johnstone. However, he dutifully returned to Charlton Athletic upon the conclusion of the loan.
In September 2025, Mitchell transferred on loan to Hibernian, a Scottish Premiership club. Despite being in the current 2025-2026 season, Mitchell is yet to debut in a league match for Hibernian.
Despite having multiple loan stints and transfers, Mitchell has yet to make a significant mark in his football career. He remains a player to watch, both for his potential and his robust physical stature, particularly for Hibernian in the coming season.
