Young defender Mitchell Parkinson pens deal with Redcar Athletic

The young defender becomes the latest addition to Carl Jarrett’s squad.

Redcar Athletic are pleased to confirm Mitchell Parkinson has penned a deal with the club following a successful period as a trialist.

The 18-year-old featured against the likes of Middlesbrough and Hartlepool United during pre-season preparations, and now puts pen to paper as our eight addition of the summer.

A talented young defender, Mitchell lined up against the Steelmen last season whilst on trial at Whitby Town.

He soon returned to Guisborough Town of the Northern League, where he spent the majority of the 2025/26 season.

Mitchell scored one goal for the Priorymen, but regularly impressed in the heart of the backline.
