Mitchell’s Words
It feels so good to sign that new contract,”* Mitchell said. *”To be fair, I kind of gave it away on social media—I did the club an injustice by announcing it! But it was an easy decision for me after speaking to the manager and some of the fans.
The club feels really close to me, and I feel like I’ve been here longer than I have. The manager understood my injury and coming back. Give me six weeks, and I’ll hit the ground running. The club truly understands me as a person.
Manager’s Praise
Manager Gary Caldwell expressed his delight:-
Demi is a massive player for us. He was a huge loss last year due to his serious knee injury. He’s fully fit and ready to go, and we are delighted to sign him up for another year.

When we get to see him play can only be predicted, but Yeovil away on Friday 19 July for even a few minutes would be pleasing for the Grecians. Demi has had three significant injuries which has stilted the footballing career of this hugely talented player. City fans will be be hoping for an injury free season which can only lead to a successful season for the Club, and numerous accolades for Demi.
