Zach Mitchell, born on 9 January 2005 in England, is currently a sprightly 20-year-old central defender for St Johnstone. Standing tall at 6 foot (1.85 meters) with a weight to match, coming in at 12 stone 12 pounds (82 kg) he certainly makes an imposing figure on the pitch with his number 5 jersey.
According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is estimated to be in the ballpark of £170,000. His contract with St Johnstone is due to expire on 31 May 2025, having only three months remaining.
Mitchell entered the professional world of football back in July of 2022. He joined Charlton Athletic, a respectable team in England's League One, before being sent on loan to Colchester United in England's League Two in September 2023. In his debut season with Charlton Athletic, Mitchell only had the chance to make a single first-team appearance in league matches before being transferred.
In June of 2024, his loan to Colchester United had come to its conclusion, and he returned to Charlton Athletic for a short stint. As before, he made one first team appearance during the league matches. However, it was not till February 2025, when he transferred to St Johnstone in Scotland's Premiership, did he manage to grasp more playing opportunities. In this current season with St Johnstone, Mitchell has made a total of six first team appearances in the league matches.
Outside of the league, he also participated in the Scottish Cup for St Johnstone in the 2024-2025 season. He started once and was also being utilised once off the bench, further adding to the experience he's gained in his short yet burgeoning career.
