Career

Mitcheson was on the books at Wolverhampton Wanderers before joining Port Vale in July 1933. He scored a hat-trick on his debut on 21 April 1934, a 4–0 win over Plymouth Argyle at The Old Recreation Ground, as the 1933–34 season drew to a close; scoring all three goals in just three minutes, this was the quickest hat-trick in the club's history. He scored four goals in 31 Second Division appearances in 1934–35. He hit just one goal in 15 games in 1935–36, before he was sold to Bob Jack's Plymouth Argyle in November 1935. He spent five years at Plymouth, scoring a hat-trick in January 1939 in a 4–3 win at Luton Town. After leaving Home Park he played for Ipswich Town and Yeovil Town. He returned to Plymouth Argyle in 1948 to help the training and ground staff.
