Coates was born in Hetton-le-Hole, County Durham. He was an apprentice colliery fitter and his footballing ability was spotted by Burnley's North-East scout Jack Hixon. Coates joined Burnley on trial in 1961, and after a period as an apprentice, turned professional in 1963.

After Burnley had been relegated from the First Division in 1971, Coates was sold to Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £190,000. He played over 300 games for Tottenham and earned winner's medals for the 1971–72 UEFA Cup and the 1972–73 Football League Cup, where he scored the winning goal in the final. Coates left Tottenham in 1978 and had a short period playing with St George in the Australian National Soccer League, before returning to play for Orient, where he was also on the coaching staff. He played 84 games in all competitions for Orient scoring 12 goals.
He retired from professional football in 1982, but continued to play non-league football for Hertford Heath, Ware and Nazeing.
