Career edit
A Birmingham City and Portsmouth trainee, Vaughan joined Walsall from Chelmsley Town[2] in February 2005 in a non-contract basis.[3][4] He had a loan spell at Willenhall Town, and subsequently moved to A.F.C. Telford United in the summer of 2006.
On 11 May 2010 Vaughan joined Kidderminster Harriers.[5] He appeared in 157 league matches for Harriers, and was named in the 2012–13 Conference Team of the Year alongside teammates Josh Gowling and Anthony Malbon,[6] a season when Harriers finished second in the league, before rejecting a new deal in May 2014.
On 19 May 2014 Vaughan signed a two-year deal with Football League Two club Cheltenham Town.[7] He played his first match in the Football League on 9 August, starting in a 1–0 win at Bury.[8] He was a regular in the side for the 2014–15 season, at the end of which Cheltenham were relegated to the National League, but could not keep his place in 2015–16. In November 2015, he joined another National League club, Tranmere Rovers, on loan, and the move was made permanent in January 2016 when Cheltenham cancelled his contract.[9]
Despite missing the end of the 2016–17 National League season because of a broken leg, he was named in the National League Team of the Year. He rejoined Kidderminster Harriers in 2017,[10] and returned to competitive action in December, playing regularly until the end of the National League North season and for the first half of the next. Vaughan then returned to the National League with Solihull Moors.[11]
In June 2020, Vaughan re-joined AFC Telford United.[12] He then joined Barnet in March 2021 on a deal until the end of the season.[13] He made 20 appearances for the Bees before leaving on the expiry of his contract.[14]
Vaughan joined Stourbridge in June 2021.[15][16] In March 2023, he signed for Stratford Town.[17]
