| Adam Paul Yates (born 28 May 1983) is an English former professional footballer who played as a right-back. He made 520 league and cup appearances in a 16-year career as a professional and also won three caps as a semi-pro international with England.
Having spent ten years at the Crewe Alexandra Academy, he turned professional with the club in 2002. He spent five months of the 2003–04 season on loan at Conference club Halifax Town, though he was released by his parent club at the end of the season, never having made a first-team appearance for Crewe. He then spent two seasons at Northern Premier League side Leek Town before he was signed by Morecambe in August 2006. He helped the club win promotion into the English Football League as the Conference National's play-off winners in 2007. He played 54 games in 2007–08, though he started the 2008–09 season on loan at Conference Premier club Burton Albion.
He signed with Port Vale in June 2009 and made the right-back slot his own in the 2009–10, 2010–11 and 2011–12 campaigns. He helped the club to secure promotion out of League Two in 2012–13. He lost his first-team place in August 2015 and was loaned to Northampton Town and then to Macclesfield Town in August 2017 to help him overcome a serious injury which caused him to miss the entire 2016–17 season.
