Mitchell Thomas Duke (born 18 January 1991) is an Australian international footballer (soccer) who plays for Fagiano Okayama in the J2 League.

Duke has fifteen caps and seven goals for the Australian national soccer team.

Early life[]

Duke was born in Liverpool, in Sydney's south-west. He attended All Saints Catholic College Liverpool and All Saints Catholic Senior College Casula.

Playing career[]

Club[]

He began his career with Parramatta Eagles before moving into the Central Coast Mariners' youth team. On 9 February 2011, Duke made his senior debut for the Mariners and also scored his first goal in a 3–1 win over Gold Coast United.[2]

On 24 January 2012 it was announced he had signed his first senior contract signing a two-year contract with Central Coast Mariners.[3]

In August 2013, Duke had a two-week trial with English Premier League side West Ham United.[4]

In the 2012/13 season, Duke scored 6 goals from 21 games. In the 2013/14 season, he wasn't as prolific, scoring 3 goals in 29 games. In the 2014/15 season, he had 3 goals from 15 games.[5] The decrease in goals can be attributed to Duke being played increasingly on the right wing by coach Phil Moss rather than the centre forward position he began his career playing.

On 9 February 2015, Duke announced that he was flying to Japan to complete a move to Shimizu S-Pulse.[6] In April 2016, Duke suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, ruling him out of football for at least six months.[7]

Duke left Shimizu in December 2018, after 4 seasons with the club.[8]

On 25 January 2019, Mitchell Duke announced that he had moved back home and signed with Western Sydney Wanderers FC and captained the club.

On 22 August 2020, Duke signed a 2-year deal with Al-Taawoun.[9] He scored the winning goal against Al-Duhail in a AFC Champions League group stage fixture on 25th September 2020 but fell out of favour with the club leadership shortly after, having moved from his forward position to the wing. On 1 February 2021, Duke returned to Australia and signed for his former club Western Sydney Wanderers on loan for the remainder of the 2020–21 A-League season.[10]

On 5 August 2021, Duke joined Fagiano Okayama.[11]

International[]

Duke was first named in the Australian national football team squad in July 2013, for the 2013 EAFF East Asian Cup.[12] Duke made his debut in the first game of the tournament in a draw with South Korea.[13] He scored his first international goal in the next match, a 3–2 loss to Japan.[14] Duke scored again in the following match which Australia lost 4–3 to China.[15]

7 September 2013, Duke next played for the Socceroos in a 0–6 friendly loss to Brazil, at Estadio Nacional Mane Garrincha in Brasília. Mitch came on as a second half substitute for Josh Kennedy in the 78th minute.[16]

Duke qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. He was part of the Olyroos Olympic squad. The team beat Argentine in their first group match but were unable to win another match. They were therefore not in medal contention.[17]
