Tyrick Mitchell

Club career Brentford In 2012, Mitchell joined the Brentford Academy. He was part of the under-15 team that won the Junior Globe at the 2014 Milk Cup and later offered a scholarship with the Championship club. However, the academy was shut down due to financial decisions in May 2016 and Mitchell pursued alternative options. He had a preference to remain in London to support his family.

Crystal Palace In July 2016, Mitchell joined Premier League club Crystal Palace. After a season with the development squad, he was awarded a two-year scholarship and featured for both the under-18 and under-23 Professional Development League winning teams. In 2018, he became a regular starter for the under-23s and was rewarded with a new contract in January 2019.

2019–20 season In 2019, Mitchell joined the first team on their pre-season tour and sustained a thigh injury that kept him out for five months. He returned to the first team squad as an unused substitute in a 1–1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion on 16 December. Further issues with the injury meant he was named as an unused substitute just once more before the 2019–20 season was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

After the league's resumption in June 2020, Mitchell was named in all nine matchday squads. He made his home debut with another appearance from the bench in a 2–0 defeat to Manchester United on 16 July, and started in the final two league fixtures against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur.

2020–21 season Mitchell became a regular inclusion in first team manager Roy Hodgson's matchday squads during the 2020–21 season, enjoying three runs in the team as the starting left-back. He started in the first six league matches before suffering an injury, and featured another seven times between December and February. He returned to the starting left-back role in May for the final six games of the season.

2022–23 season On 6 May 2023, Mitchell made his 100th Appearance for Crystal Palace in all competitions, featuring in a 1–0 away loss to Tottenham Hotspur. At the end of the 2022–23 season, he received the PFA Community Champion Award for his support for the Palace for Life Foundation, most notably for his work with their flagship employability and training programme GAME ON.

On 17 May 2025, Mitchell played every minute as Crystal Palace beat Manchester City 1–0 in the 2025 FA Cup final for Crystal Palace's first major trophy. During the match, City were awarded a penalty when Mitchell fouled Bernardo Silva in the box; however, the resulting penalty by Omar Marmoush was saved by Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson.

International career Born in England, Mitchell is of Jamaican descent and expressed an interest in representing the Jamaica national team. He received his first senior England call up on 21 March 2022, following withdrawals by Trent Alexander-Arnold and Reece James.

He made his senior debut under manager Gareth Southgate in a 2–1 win over Switzerland on 26 March 2022, as a 61st-minute like-for-like substitute for Luke Shaw.
