Mitchell made a bit of a name for himself in my local area as part of Grays Athletics golden generation with players like Michael Kightly, Freddie Eastwood, Aaron McLean and Gary Hooper.
He signed for Southend in 2005 following Eastwood and had a good first season helping Southend into the Championship but then struggled to hold a place and signed for Stevenage.
Although sharing the Cole name he was actually Joe Cole's brother-in-law partnered with Joe's sister.
Personally I haven't met him but my youngest son knew him quite well from his Southend days.
