His last appearance for Town was on 14 May 1997 at home against Sheffield United F.C. in the Division 1 playoff where Ipswich lost on away goals.
Manchester City manager Frank Clark made City fan Vaughan a pre season signing in 1997 for £1.35 million. He left for Nottingham Forest in 1999, where he scored once against Wimbledon[2] in 43 league games. After loan spells at Scunthorpe United and Mansfield Town he moved to Scotland to play for Motherwell on loan in January 2003.[3] At Motherwell he scored one goal against Dundee United in 12 games.[4] Vaughan rejoined Mansfield, this time on a permanent basis, in the Summer of 2003, before ending his professional career at Barnsley, where he also had a loan spell at Stockport County (scoring once against Leyton Orient).[5]
