Mark Yeates (born January 11, 1985) is an Irish footballer who plays for Leicester City, on loan from Tottenham Hotspur. He can operate either as a striker or a winger.

His late father Stephen played for Shelbourne, Shamrock Rovers (2 goals in 11 appearances in 1989/90), Athlone Town and Kilkenny City [1]

He has made three first team appearances for Tottenham, making his debut against Wolves on the final day of the 2003-04 season in the Premier League setting up a goal for Robbie Keane, and has three Under-21 caps for the Republic of Ireland.

During the recent 2005-06 season he played on long term loan at Colchester United scoring 5 league goals for them. He has also played on loan for Brighton and Swindon. The loan to Swindon was part of an agreement between Tottenham and Swindon over the transfer to Spurs of Leigh Mills, but Yeates only played 4 games before being returned to Spurs after a disagreement with then manager Andy King.

Yeates recently signed a two-year contract extension with Spurs, following strong transfer speculation linking him with a permanent move to Hull City, to rejoin his former manager from Colchester, Phil Parkinson. He instead joined Hull on a season-long loan on 9th August 2006, but hardly featured for them before returning to Spurs midway through the season.

He then signed a loan contract until the end of the 2006-07 season with Championship team Leicester City, and he scored on his City debut at the Walkers Stadium in the 1-1 draw with Luton Town.
