He was recruited as the number 9 draft pick in the 2005 AFL Draft from East Fremantle. Mitchell made his debut for the Brisbane Lions in Round 1, 2006 against Geelong but his debut season was significantly hampered by injury problems, in particular osteitis pubis.

Clark played his first game in 2007 in Round Nine against Collingwood after overcoming his injury problems. His five goals in that match earned him an AFL Rising Star nomination. ^[1]
