'''Alan Tate''' (born 2 September 1982) is an English professional football coach and retired [footballer](/source/association_football) who is the assistant manager of [Danish Superliga](/source/Danish_Superliga) club [Brøndby](/source/Br%C3%B8ndby_IF).

A former [defender](/source/Defender_(association_football)), Tate spent the majority of his playing career at [Swansea City](/source/Swansea_City_A.F.C.). After retiring from playing, Tate moved into coaching with Swansea, before joining Nottingham Forest in 2021, before leaving with [Steve Cooper](/source/Steve_Cooper_(footballer%2C_born_1979)) in December 2023.

==Playing career==
Born in [Easington](/source/Easington%2C_County_Durham), County Durham,<ref name=Hugman/> Tate began his career as a trainee at [Manchester United](/source/Manchester_United_F.C.), later earning himself a professional contract. Although he went on to captain United's reserve team, which included such players as [Quinton Fortune](/source/Quinton_Fortune), [Luke Chadwick](/source/Luke_Chadwick) and [Chris Eagles](/source/Chris_Eagles), he failed to break into the first team. Tate went on loan to [Royal Antwerp](/source/Royal_Antwerp_F.C.), Manchester United's feeder club, in 2002, making seven appearances in the Belgian First Division.<ref>{{cite web |title=Alan Tate |url=http://www.rafc.be/spelersfiches/spelersfiche.php?id=220 |work=rafc.be |publisher=Royal Antwerp FC |access-date=27 December 2012 |language=nl |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080324192905/http://www.rafc.be/spelersfiches/spelersfiche.php?id=220 |archive-date=24 March 2008 }}</ref> He did not score for Royal Antwerp in the two months he was there, but he did score an own goal against [Gent](/source/K.A.A._Gent) on 17 February 2002, the first goal in a 3–3 draw.<ref>{{cite news |title=Belgium round-up: Brugge leave it late |url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/news/newsid=17647.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130205041303/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/news/newsid=17647.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=5 February 2013 |publisher=UEFA |date=18 February 2002 |access-date=27 December 2012}}</ref>

===Swansea City===
Tate spent two loan periods at [Swansea City](/source/Swansea_City_A.F.C.). He played a major role in the club's battle against relegation from [the Football League](/source/the_Football_League) in the 2002–03 season, before joining the club on a permanent basis on 6 February 2004.

Initially a centre-back, Tate made a successful transition to the right-back slot. He further showed his versatility by playing several matches in the centre of midfield during an injury crisis at the club during the 2005–06 season, which saw him named as the club's Player of the Year. Tate was in the Swansea City team which won the [Football League Trophy](/source/Football_League_Trophy) final against [Carlisle United](/source/Carlisle_United_F.C.) on 2 April 2006. After the final whistle, he and [Lee Trundle](/source/Lee_Trundle) were photographed holding a Welsh flag bearing the words "Fuck off Cardiff," which had been handed to them by Swansea supporters.<ref>{{cite news |first=Huw |last=Richards |title=Local difficulties |url=http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/1309/29/ |work=[When Saturday Comes](/source/When_Saturday_Comes) |date=June 2006 |access-date=14 September 2011 |quote=Striker Lee Trundle and defender Alan Tate ...

On 24 June 2006, both players were fined a week's wages and warned as to their future conduct by the [Football Association of Wales](/source/Football_Association_of_Wales), having already received police cautions for public order offences.<ref>{{cite news |title=Swans pair handed one-match bans |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/5116582.stm |work=BBC Sport |date=26 June 2006 |access-date=1 July 2006}}</ref>

Swansea City reached the [League One](/source/Football_League_One) play-off final against [Barnsley](/source/Barnsley_F.C.) on 27 May 2006. The match finished at 2–2 after extra time, and went to a [penalty shootout](/source/Penalty_shootout_(association_football)). With Swansea trailing 4–3, Tate saw his penalty saved, sealing Barnsley's promotion.<ref>{{cite news |title=Swansea 2–2 Barnsley (aet) |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/5010240.stm |work=BBC Sport |date=27 May 2006 |access-date=7 November 2008}}</ref>

He continued mainly playing at right-back under [Kenny Jackett](/source/Kenny_Jackett) and occasionally midfield to cover for injuries in the 2006–07 season. When former Swansea captain [Roberto Martínez](/source/Roberto_Mart%C3%ADnez) took over as the new manager by the 2007–08 season, Tate had lost his place at right-back to new arrival [Àngel Rangel](/source/%C3%80ngel_Rangel).

During the 2008–09 season, Tate covered all positions in defence, including one appearance as a goalkeeper against [Queens Park Rangers](/source/Queens_Park_Rangers_F.C.).<ref>{{cite news |title=Tate dons the gloves against QPR |url=http://www.swanseacity.com/page/MatchReport/0,,10354~44206,00.html |publisher=Swansea City FC Official Website |access-date=19 May 2010 |date=21 October 2008 }}{{dead link|date=April 2019|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> After injuries to [Marcos Painter](/source/Marcos_Painter) and [Federico Bessone](/source/Federico_Bessone_(footballer%2C_born_1984)), Tate played at left-back for the rest of the 2008–09 season. Tate had a superb [2009–10](/source/2009%E2%80%9310_Swansea_City_A.F.C._season) season as he played most of his matches in his favourite position at centre-back due to [Garry Monk](/source/Garry_Monk)'s injury-laden season, as well as captaining the side for most of the season. For the [2010–11](/source/2010%E2%80%9311_Swansea_City_A.F.C._season) season, under new manager Brendan Rodgers, he resumed his position at left-back, although he has played centre-back ever since Monk got injured in an FA Cup tie against Colchester United on 8 January 2011.

On 28 August 2011, Tate broke his leg in a [golf cart](/source/golf_cart) accident, managing to lodge his leg between the cart and a tree. The injury was estimated to rule him out for up to six months. Despite this, Tate signed a new contract with Swansea on 14 September 2011, keeping him at the club until June 2015.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/14908840 |title=Swansea City reward Alan Tate with improved deal |date=14 September 2011 |work=BBC Sport |access-date=14 September 2011}}</ref> Tate made his comeback as a late substitute for Swansea in their penultimate match of the [2011–12](/source/2011%E2%80%9312_Swansea_City_A.F.C._season) season at [Old Trafford](/source/Old_Trafford) appearing against his former club, Manchester United.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/17885312 |title=Man Utd 2–0 Swansea |date=6 May 2012 |work=BBC Sport |access-date=6 May 2012}}</ref>

Tate had made 340 appearances for Swansea, scoring five goals in all competitions, which excludes the [FAW Premier Cup](/source/FAW_Premier_Cup), which Swansea competed in from 1997 to 2008.

Tate revealed that he was to exit the club in the summer 2015.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.southwales-eveningpost.co.uk/Swansea-City-defender-Alan-Tate-confirms-Liberty/story-24551542-detail/story.html |title=Swansea Defended Alan Tate confirms Liberty Exit |date=18 November 2014 |work=South Wales Evening Post |access-date=18 November 2014}}</ref> This was confirmed by Swansea on 28 May 2015.
