“I am very excited to sign a first-team contract with the New York Red Bulls,” said Mitchell, who has earned youth national team call-ups for both the United States and Trinidad and Tobago.
“This has been a dream of mine for a long time and I’m excited I can accomplish this goal. I’m looking forward to helping the team accomplish its goals and make the fans proud.”
