Graham Mitchell (English footballer)

Graham Lee Mitchell (born 16 February 1968) is an English former professional footballer, who played as a defender.

After a few disagreements with then manager Neil Warnock, after playing 310 games and scoring 5 goals he was sold to Bradford City in 1994.

He left the latter role in November 2011 after reaching a mutual agreement with the club to end his contract seven months early.

During his spell at Raith, Cardiff City showed interest in Mitchell and on 1 August 1998 he signed on a free transfer.

Mitchell spent three years at Halifax where he played 144 games and scored four goals in all competitions.

After retiring from professional football, Mitchell signed for non-league Bradford Park Avenue.

In another one of these games he was sent-off for swearing at spectators while receiving treatment for a head injury and throwing his captain's armband at the referee didn't help his cause.

At the end of the 2007–08 season, Stan Ternent was given the Town job; he was dismissed in November, when Murphy and Mitchell were placed in temporary charge once again.

During Mitchell's spell as caretaker assistant manager at Huddersfield, he was in charge of the Terriers' second string up until Paul Stephenson took over in February 2009.
