On 31 January 2014, Oates joined another Conference North side Stockport County in the 2013–14 season.[10] By the end of February, Oates had loan at Stockport County extended for another month.[11] Oates then scored his first Stockport County goal and earned himself "Man of the Match", in a 2-2 draw against Barrow on 5 March 2014.[12] Oates made his return to his parent club after scoring once in twelve appearance. Following this, Oates signed a new one-year contract with Barnsley in May 2014.[13]

After making his Barnsley debut, coming on as a substitute for Sam Winnall in the 89th minutes against Crewe,[14] Oates signed for Conference Premier team Grimsby Town on a one-month loan on 19 September 2014.[15] Oates scored on his debut for Grimsby Town, coming on as an 63rd-minute substitute for Jack Mackreth in a Conference Premier match against Kidderminster Harriers, firing in from 20 yards on 85 minutes.[16] Just only making six appearance and scoring once, Oates returned to his parent club despite Grimsby Town keen to extend for another month.[17][18]
