Ben Mitchell (born 6 April 1994) is an English-born Irish professional rugby union player who is currently a lock.
In October 2017 he signed a two-year contract with Austin Elite to join the team for the inaugural Major League Rugby season of 2018 and was re-signed in January 2019.
In late 2020 he will qualify for the United States national rugby union team by residency in the US and is predicted to be of interest to the selectors.
Mitchell played in both games in Uruguay against Chile A and Brazil A and was singled out by head coach Mike Tolkin as one of the USA’s standout performers on the tour.
Mitchell returned to MLR after spending time away from the sport to focus on professional life outside of Rugby.
Ben has a wealth of experience in the MLR and will be a vital member of the squad as we continue to develop our team identity".
