In April 2016, Mitchell signed for the Dragons for their 2016/17 campaign.
Mitchell was released from the Dragons at the end of the 2016/17 season before joining Yorkshire Carnegie for whom, following recovery from an injury, he made six appearances near the end of the 2017-18 campaign.
A short-term deal then saw him move briefly to Newcastle Falcons for the start of the 2018-19 season, and then it was back to Yorkshire Carnegie until June 2019, when joined the Cornish Pirates.
