Mitchell Thomas Duke (born 18 January 1991) is an Australian international football (soccer) player who plays as a striker for Shimizu S-Pulse in the J1 League.
Duke was born in Liverpool, New South Wales and played youth football with Paramatta Eagles before starting his professional career with Central Coast Mariners. He joined Shimizu S-Pulse in 2015.
Duke has four caps and two goals for the Australian national soccer team.
Duke was born in Liverpool, in Sydney's south-west.
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.
On 24 January 2012 it was announced he had signed his first senior contract signing a two-year contract with Central Coast Mariners.
In August 2013, Duke had a two-week trial with English Premier League side West Ham United.
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. 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.
