Shane Gates is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with the Eastern Province Kings.[1]
He was born in Port Elizabeth and played for the Eastern Province Kings in several underage competitions. In 2011, he was included in the 2011 Vodacom Cup squad and also represented the South African Kings in the 2011 IRB Nations Cup in Romania. He was named in the Kings wider training squad for the 2013 Super Rugby season, but was subsequently released to the Vodacom Cup squad.[2]
He was called back into the Super Rugby squad and made his debut in that competition against the Highlanders in a 34–27 victory.[3]
With the Kings not playing Super Rugby in 2014, Gates – along with Rynier Bernardo – joined the Cheetahs for pre-season training prior to the 2014 Super Rugby season.[4]
