Shane Edward Gates is a South African rugby union player, currently playing in the Japanese Top League with NTT Shining Arcs. His usual position is fly-half or inside centre.
He was born in Port Elizabeth and played for the Eastern Province Kings in several underage competitions. He represented them at the Under-18 Craven Week competition in 2010 and also played for the Eastern Province U19 side in the 2010 Under-19 Provincial Championship. He represented the Eastern Province U21 side in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 competitions, helping them reach the Division B final on all three occasions and winning the title in 2012 and 2013.
In 2011, he was included in the 2011 Vodacom Cup squad, but failed to make an appearance for the team, despite being named on the bench for their match against the Blue Bulls in Pretoria. His senior debut came during the 2012 Vodacom Cup competition against Argentinean invitational side Pampas XV in Stellenbosch; he started the match and also marked the occasion by scoring his first try, dotting down shortly before half-time. He made a further three starts and one substitute's appearance during the competition.
He made his Currie Cup debut at the end of 2012, when he started their match against the Free State Cheetahs in the promotion/relegation play-offs. Despite scoring a try, he could not help the Kings crashing to a 53–14 defeat and ultimately failing to win promotion.
