Club career
Born in Kirkcaldy, she grew up in the town of Buckhaven which is all in all within the county of Fife. Mitchell went on to become the only girl to play for her local high school team at the age of twelve. She started her career with St Johnstone Girls, alongside fellow future Frauen-Bundesliga player Lisa Evans, before both girls joined Scottish Women's Premier League champions Glasgow City in August 2008.
At the end of the 2012 season, Mitchell had a trial period in Denmark with earlier Champions League opponents Fortuna Hjørring, before heading for further trials in Sweden and Germany.
Mitchell signed professionally for Frauen-Bundesliga side SGS Essen in January 2013. After just four months, reports in Germany linked Mitchell with a transfer to English champions Arsenal. Arsenal confirmed the move on 22 July 2013.
Whilst at Arsenal, Mitchell won an FA Cup in 2014 with WSL Cups coming in 2013 and 2015 as well. With the Gunners, she also went upon a successful run to the FA Cup final of 2016. Wherein such, Arsenal won by a 1-0 margin to Chelsea at Wembley and as so Mitchell victoriously lifted the 2016 FA Cup.
International career
After captaining both the national Under-17 and Under-19 teams, Mitchell made her debut with the senior Scottish national team against France in May 2011. Despite conceding a penalty in Scotland's 1–1 draw, Mitchell's contribution was praised by coach Anna Signeul: "Emma Mitchell did really well on her first appearance. It is a shame that she conceded the penalty, it was just a bit of inexperience to be honest, but she didn’t let her head go down and kept working hard." Mitchell scored her first goal for the Senior women's side against Iceland in August 2012 and later that year scored against Spain in Scotland's 2013 UEFA Women's Euro Play-off defeat.
Mitchell attended the Scottish Football Association National Performance Centre at the University of Stirling.
