Club Career
An AIS graduate, he played with Northern Spirit and Marconi Stallions in the NSL before trying his luck overseas where he had short stints with Scottish club Stirling Albion and most recently with Malaysian Super League side Pahang FA. A series of impressive performances during Perth Glory's 2007 pre-season trip to Malaysia secured a place for Mitchell on the club's list for the 2007-08 season.
In 2008, Prentice was convicted of two counts of assault after an altercation with restaurant staff and diners at Morley restaurant Fast Eddys on 29 February 2008. He was fined a total of $1150 and a criminal conviction recorded.
Prentice left the Perth Glory at the end of the 2007/08 season, after failing to negotiate a new contract. He was eventually signed by Sydney FC for the coming 2008/09 season. On 3 May 2008 Mitchell Prentice signed a 2 year deal with Sydney FC. He scored his first goal for Sydney in their first 2008 preseason cup game against Queensland Roar at Campbelltown Stadium in their 2-1 Victory. He scored off the free kick that resulted in Queensland's Seo Hyuk-Su being sent off for a sliding tackle against Sydney's Alex Brosque. Mitchell Prentice played his first A-League match as a Sydney FC player on August 30, 2008 at the Sydney Football Stadium against his old club, Perth Glory. Prentice played the full match in which Sydney FC won 5-2. Prentice decided to end his contract 3 months early with the Sky blues in early 2010, after he had failed to impress new coach Vitezslav Lavicka and as a result failed to play in any games.

“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
