Playing career

During the late 1960s he played for Transvaal as a wicket-keeper in South African domestic cricket.

In a match between South Africa and India in 1992, Mitchley made history by making the first referral to a third umpire in Test cricket history. Sachin Tendulkar was out after Mitchley referred a run out decision.
