Football

Vautin was from Tasmania and played at the City Football Club in Hobart. A rover, he represented his league in 1889 in an away series in Victoria, impressing the Essendon recruiters who signed him up for the 1892 VFA season and he was a key part of their premiership teams over the next three seasons. The VFL began in 1897 and Vautin was a member of Essendon's inaugural VFL premiership side.

Cricket

Vautin was also a cricketer, playing a first-class match for Tasmania in 1889/90[3] and another for Victoria in 1894/95.[4] He played club cricket for East Melbourne Cricket Club and St Kilda Cricket Club during the 1890s.[5]
