Club career

Charlton Athletic

Mitov joined Charlton Athletic in 2013 from Bulgarian club Chavdar Etropole, after undergoing a trial at Nottingham Forest.[3] In April 2015, he scored a goal from his own six-yard box against Coventry City U18's, gaining press attention.[4] He featured for the club at under-18, under-21 and under-23 level but did not make a senior appearance for the club.[5]

Canvey Island (loan)

In February 2015, Mitov joined Isthmian League Premier Division club Canvey Island on a one-month loan. He made a single appearance in a 1–1 draw with Lewes on 28 February.[6]

Cambridge United

Following his release from Charlton Athletic, Mitov joined League Two club Cambridge United on a two-year contract.[7]

On 8 August 2017, he made his debut in a 4–1 EFL Cup defeat to Bristol Rovers.[8] Mitov's first league appearances for Cambridge came in the final 3 games of the 2017–18 season, playing against Morecambe, Newport County and Port Vale.

On 16 May 2018, he extended his contract with Cambridge United. The contract keeps him at the club until 2021.[9]

During the 2018-19 season, Mitov replaced David Forde as the first choice goalkeeper. Mitov made 21 league appearances in total over the season. Forde was then released at the end of the season, after falling down the pecking order.

International career

Mitov has represented Bulgaria at every age level from under-16 to under-21. He also captained his nation at under-17 and under-19 level.[5]
