Mitchell Crosswell

Mitchell Crosswell (born 14 November 1988 in Feilding, New Zealand) is a New Zealand rugby union player. He plays in the flanker (and occasionally number eight) position for the provincial based ITM Cup side Taranaki.

Crosswell made his provincial debut for Manawatu in 2008, he was a part of the Turbos squad up until 2011 before he thought he would try his luck in Tasman where he accepted a job as the Marlborough union's rugby development officer. However, the job didn't last long as a one-year offer from Tokyo's Hino Red Dolphins. It proved too tempting for Crosswell who signed despite a last-minute two-year deal put under by Tasman. He then returned to New Zealand to play for provincial union, Taranaki, in the opening game of the 2013 ITM Cup.
