James Bater (born 7 January 1980 in Bridgend, Wales) is a Welsh rugby union footballer who plays as a flanker for Llanelli Scarlets in the Magners League.
Bater began his professional rugby career at Swansea RFC, before moving to the Ospreys at the teams inception at the dawn of regional rugby in Wales. In his three years at the Ospreys, Bater made a total of 67 appearances, scoring six tries. However, due to the rise of future Wales captain Ryan Jones and the signings of Filo Tiatia and Jono Gibbes, Bater found himself on the fringes of the first team at the Ospreys. The Scarlets came in with a bid for him, and he was allowed to leave.[1] Bater has managed to make a place for himself in the Scarlets side, and has even captained the team when regular captain, Simon Easterby, and vice-captain, Stephen Jones, are on international duty.
