Guy Bates is a former Newcastle United (England) reserves striker who has come out to Australia to make his mark on the 2005\/06 Hyundai A-League. Born and bred in the north of England, Bates is definitely a tough Geordie through and through.<\/P>

At only 19 years of aged Bates has been exposed to a lot of training with some of the biggest names in world football (internationals such as Alan Shearer and Patrick Kluivert to name a few). Bates has played with the Jets’ premier league namesake since he was 8 years old and has set several junior goal scoring records. With an incredibly powerful right boot, Bates is sure to be a standout in this year’s competition.<\/P><\/DIV>","5C3036D26CFC912788B0712D1AAE3BCF":"","805ACE40479B6E763FB50E182B20A495":"1985-10-31","784E2315886D4158FF9CFFE843FE6B59":"","3D0C18FC6E83B9810B0FAD6BF04C7B64":"2016-7-18","7CC3966A9B90B9412F1273E902F0953F":"Linfield FC,Glenavon Lurgan,Shelbourne,Drogheda United,Darlington,KV Oostende","9CFA5380AB449F58B34CD68741B77812":"0","e_index":8};
