Eastleigh Football Club are delighted to announce the loan signing of striker, Kairo Mitchell, from Notts County.*

The 25-year-old has joined the Spitfires on a loan until the rest of the season after being at Notts County since August 2021.

Mitchell started his career after coming through the academy at Leicester City but began making a name for himself at Coalville Town where he scored 21 goals in 57 appearances.

The Grenadian international joined King’s Lynn Town in October 2020, going on to score seven goals in 20 games for the Norfolk side.

Six months later, he moved to Chesterfield where he scored once in eight games.

Just over four months after his spell with the Derbyshire side, he signed for Notts County where he has scored three goals in 39 games.

When asked about joining the Spitfires, Mitchell said:

“I’m delighted to join. For me, this season has been frustrating in terms of minutes and playing so I’m looking forward to trying to hit the ground running.”

The attacker discussed his personal goals for the season:

“For myself, I want to try and gain as much fitness and minutes as possible. I also want to try and help the team to make the playoffs this season and give the fans something to cheer about.”
