Zach Mitchell has been recalled by his parent club, Charlton Athletic, ending his season-long loan spell at Hibernian. Charlton Athletic recalled the 21-year-old because they had hoped he would get more playing time. Mitchell made two first-team appearances for Hibernian: one was a start in a draw against Dundee United, and his other appearance was as a substitute in a victory over Kilmarnock. A reason for his limited minutes was manager David Gray's preference for using contracted players. It was reported that Gray praised the young defender, who had impressed at St Johnstone the previous season.
