The 25-year-old joined Hibernian for an undisclosed fee on January 24 this year and just five days later scored in his first start for Hibernian, in a 3–2 defeat to Livingston.
Recently recovering from a long-term injury Mitchell made his first appearance of the season against Ross County on Monday night but was taken off shortly before halftime in what is believed to be a tactical decision.
