Zach Mitchell has joined Scottish Premiership side St Johnstone on loan for the remainder of the 2024/25 campaign.

The 20-year-old academy graduate has featured seven times for Nathan Jones’ side this term across all competitions. 

Mitchell, who spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Colchester United, signed a new long-term contract with Charlton in October 2024.

Technical Director Andy Scott said: "Zach is a player we have very high hopes for as demonstrated with his new contract in October. He has done well whenever he’s been called upon for the men’s first-team following a successful loan in League Two last season. This loan gives him the opportunity to go and play regular games at a very competitive level which will be highly beneficial for his development and provide him with a solid foundation to stake a claim for a first-team place here next season. 

"With Dave Huzzey taking charge of our loans programme this season, we will be able to keep a very close eye on his progress and look forward to welcoming him back in the summer after more valuable minutes in senior football."
