A tireless competitor for the green machine, the former Miles Devils junior is known for his durable work rate and defensive qualities.

2018 was a solid season for the versatile forward as he only missed two games for the season.

A constant presence in the Raiders' forward pack, Bateman put in some early impressive performances where he made over 35 tackles in each of the green machine's first three matches. The most came against the Newcastle Knights where Bateman conjured up 43 tackles.
