Rugby league career
In 1911 Mitchell, along with three other players from the Merivale club, moved to Sydney and played for the North Sydney Bears.[3] He was then enticed north by the Queensland Rugby League. At the same time the New Zealand rugby league side was touring Australia and he was invited to join the touring party.[4] Mitchell played in four matches, becoming a dual-code rugby international.
Mitchell then returned to Christchurch and represented Canterbury in its first ever match in 1912.[4] Mitchell toured Australia twice more with New Zealand, in 1913, and as captain in 1919. He played in his last match for New Zealand in 1920.[5] He played for the St Albans and Federal clubs in the Canterbury Rugby League competition.[4]
