Gatis previously played for the North Queensland Cowboys and the New Zealand Warriors. His position of choice is at hooker.
A broken arm in 2003 followed by a knee reconstruction kept Gatis out of first-grade for seveal years until he was signed by the New Zealand Warriors in early 2006.[1]
In August, 2007, Gatis signed for the Huddersfield Giants for the 2008 and 2009 seasons.

Just three months into a two-year contract with Huddersfield, George was forced to quit the club for personal reasons. It is unclear at the moment whether Gatis will return to the game in the future. [3]
