BORO' CAREER:
|
Debut: vs Gravesend & Northfleet (A), 27/01/2007
A highly-rated winger who joined Stevenage Borough in January 2007 from Championship side, Southend United, Mitchell Cole formerly played under Mark Stimson at Grays Athletic. The player came reputed for his speedy and agile play that provided Boro' with an extra attacking dimension.
He was a key part of the transformation that overcame Boro' during the 2007 FA Trophy final when the Hertfordshire side overturned a 2-0 half-time deficit to win the title - Cole scored the first of the three Stevenage goals that afternoon.
Since then, his form was affected by injury; one that kept him out of the 2007-8 season more often than Boro' would have liked. Terrorising defences was what Cole did best, and offered a dynamic part of the Boro' front line that can produce goods when you least expect it.
Injury kept Cole out more than desired during the promotion campaign, but he played his part on a number of occasions; a quick-fire hattrick against Eastbourne Borough one of the stand-out moments of Cole's contribution to Boro's successful march on the Blue Square Premier summit during the 2009/10 season.
However, the close season provided the player with an opportunity to move to pastures new with Oxford United; a chance the player took. But it was with regret that his new club confirmed in February 2011 that the player had been forced to quit the game due to a pre-existing heart condition. It was a promising career that was sadly halted with the player aged just 25.
Stats do not include expunged Chester City fixtures in 2009/10.
