Mitchell was appointed in November 2021 following a successful two-year spell as Consett manager, where he guided the club to the FA Vase Final at Wembley in May 2021.

He is vastly experienced in coaching and management, holding exemplary qualifications and extensive connections, both in the North East and at national professional football clubs.

Mitchell is a coach in Newcastle United’s academy and foundation. Previously, he was assistant manager at Gateshead and Stockport County as well as being director of youth development at Hartlepool United.

He has also enjoyed successful managerial spells at Newcastle Blue Star and West Allotment Celtic, where he led the latter to three Northern Alliance titles in four years, and a place in the Northern League.

The club have placed on record its thanks to Terry Mitchell for his efforts – namely last season’s successful battle against relegation as well as victory in the Northumberland Senior Cup – and have wished him the very best for the future.
