The
21-year-old, who has enjoyed loans with Harrogate Town and Carlisle United in
recent seasons, arrives at Boundary Park on a deal until January 1st,
2023.
A
left-footed defender who can operate at full-back, wing-back and in the centre
of the defence, Roberts has spent the past 11 years at St Andrews as he has
progressed through the youth ranks and adds further defensive options to the
squad.
Born
in the West Midlands, Roberts has been schooled at Birmingham, emerging as one
of the club’s most promising youngsters and signing a professional contract in
2020.
Having
established himself as a regular in the Blues’ under-23 squad, his first taste
of League football was on loan at Harrogate in January 2021, before spending
the latter part of last season with Carlisle.
In
between his two loans, Mitchell made his senior Birmingham debut in the EFL Cup
and has also represented the club in the Championship. |
