Yates attended Newfield Secondary School in Norton Lees, Sheffield.
Yates was a regular in the Rotherham United youth team and later in the Millers' reserves, and was given first team squad number 27 on 18 November 2006. After a few appearances on the bench, Jamie was handed his first team debut on 17 March 2007 against Brentford, playing on the right wing.
"Jamie has been knocking on the door for a while now" said manager Mark Robins. "He was outstanding today. He's come in under difficult circumstances and has shown he's going to be a player for the future." Yates also started the following game against Crewe Alexandra, and signed a permanent professional contract with Rotherham on 20 April 2007. Yates came on as a substitute in Rotherham's League Two game against Morecambe on 20 October 2007, scoring two goals. On 26 April 2008, a 45 yard volley was scored by substitute Yates to condemn Mansfield Town to non-League football. He signed a new one-year contract with Rotherham in May 2008.[1]
In January 2009, Yates joined Conference National club Burton Albion initially on a month's loan, which was subsequently extended to the end of the season. He scored his first goal for Burton in a 1–0 win away to Grays Athletic in only his second game for the club, a match which also set a new Conference record of twelve consecutive wins. At the start of the 2009–10 season, Yates had a successful trial spell with Kettering Town and has penned an initial one month contract to stay with Kettering for the start of the campaign.[2]
He rejected a long-term contract a month later, and joined Alfreton Town on a non-contract basis. In September 2009, he signed for Boston United on a one month loan deal in a bid to regain match fitness, which then led to Boston United securing the services of Yates in early November until the end of the 2009–10 season. On 1 May 2010, Boston United secured promotion to the Conference North beating Bradford Park Avenue after extra-time in the Playoff Final. On 15 May 2010, Yates signed a new deal with Boston for their 2010–11 campaign in the Conference North in which the Pilgrims reached the play-offs for the second consecutive year finishing 3rd on an impressive 79 points.
In May 2011 he signed with Gainsborough Trinity for a tribunal fee after rejecting a new contract offer from Boston United.
