Luke Mitchell (born 28 February 1992) [1] is an Australian rules footballer, formerly in the Australian Football League.
Mitchell plays primarily as a tall forward. Originally from Victoria, Mitchell attended and played school football for Melbourne Grammar School. [1] Noted as a promising young talent from an early age, Mitchell represented Vic Metro at the 2008 AFL National Under 16 Championships. [2] He played TAC Cup football for the Calder Cannons. After a strong 2009 season, there was some speculation that he could be taken by the fledgling Gold Coast Football Club as a seventeen-year-old recruit, but this did not eventuate. [3] Mitchell then missed the majority of the 2010 TAC Cup season, as well as the 2010 AFL National Under 18 Championships, with a right shoulder injury sustained in the preseason, but he returned to play Calder's last eight games, [4] including the grand final in which he kicked five goals. [5]
Mitchell was recruited by the Carlton Football Club with its third round selection in the 2010 National Draft (No. 42 overall). [1] He continued to be hindered by shoulder injuries during his first two years with Carlton: in the December of his first pre-season at Carlton, he re-injured his right shoulder; shortly after returning to training in March, he injured his left shoulder, with the resulting rehab causing him to play almost no football at any level during 2011; [5] then, in January of the 2012 pre-season, he injured his right shoulder again, requiring another reconstruction. [6] He finally made his senior VFL debut for Carlton's VFL- affiliate, the Northern Blues, midway through the 2012 season, and he played his sole AFL match for Carlton in the final round of the same season. [7]
Mitchell was delisted at the end of the 2013 season. [8] He will play for North Adelaide in the South Australian National Football League from 2014. [9]
