He won the club's Young Player of the Year Award in his first season, and signed a new three-year deal in May 2018.[3] Mutch joined Scottish League One side Dumbarton on a short-term loan as cover for the injured Grant Adam in October 2018.[4] He returned to Falkirk a fortnight later to cover for the suspended Leo Fasan.[5] In January 2019, Mutch joined Scottish Highland Football League side Deveronvale on loan for the remainder of the 2018/19 campaign following an injury to Vale's regular goalkeeper Grant Pennet.[6] Mutch returned to Falkirk in pre season of the 2019/20 season and started the season as back-up to Cammy Bell. During the season he took the number one spot at Falkirk and, in January 2020 despite interest from English Premier League side Southampton[7] [8] he signed a contract extension taking it up to the summer of 2022.

Mutch left Falkirk after the 2021–22 season ended, and then signed for Edinburgh in July 2022.[9]
