editVosti started his VFL career in 1925 with Essendon. He played forward and topped Essendon's goalkicking in 1927 after kicking 35 goals. The following season saw him move to fullback, a position at which he excelled. He finished 2nd in Essendon's 1929 best and fairest award. From 1927 until 1930 he was a regular at full back for Victoria at interstate football.
In 1933 Essendon released him due to doubts over his ability to play with a knee injury. He joined Footscray, but was after performing well in 1933,[2] he was again affected by injury. In mid 1935 he transferred back to Essendon,[3] but only managed two more VFL games before retiring. He then coached Pascoe Vale Football Club in the Essendon District Football League before rejoining Essendon as a selector in 1946.[4]
