Life and career

Vardin began his football career at the age of 15 with Caen, courtesy of a youth development partnership in his native Guadeloupe.[2][4] He went on play regularly for the club's B team. After six years at the club, he moved on to Quevilly,[5] and was a member of their team that eliminated Olympique Marseille and Rennes from the 2011–12 Coupe de France to reach the final, in which they lost 1–0 to Lyon.[2][6] He spent the 2012–13 season with another third-tier club, Boulogne,[7] and then joined Sedan, newly demoted to the fifth-tier Championnat de France Amateur 2. He won two consecutive promotions with Sedan[8] and played for them in the third tier before moving on in 2016 to Le Mans, where he went one better, winning three consecutive promotions, from fifth tier to second.[9]

He was included in France under-20's 28-man training camp ahead of the 2009 Jeux de la Francophonie, but did not make the cut.[10]
