Steve Yates (born January 29, 1970 in Bristol) was an English professional footballer, who played as a defender.
Yates began his footballing career as a YTS trainee at Bristol Rovers in 1986. In seven years with his home town club he played 197 games without scoring any goals.[1]
When manager Gerry Francis moved to Queens Park Rangers from Bristol Rovers in 1991, a number of Rovers players later followed him to the London club. Yates was one of these, when he joined in August 1993. He made his debut that month against Liverpool.
Yates played 134 league games for QPR scoring 2 goals before transferring to Tranmere Rovers in 1999, and later had spells at Sheffield United & Huddersfield Town.
