Vasey was born at Islington in October 1880 and was educated at the Merchant Taylors' School.[1] He was later employed as an assistant master by Aldenham School, where he served as a second lieutenant with the school contingent of the Officers' Training Corps.[2] He made his debut in minor counties cricket for Hertfordshire against Buckinghamshire in the 1906 Minor Counties Championship.[3]
He served in the First World War with the Dorset Regiment, during which he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in December 1914.[4] While serving during the war in British India, he made his debut in first-class cricket for the Europeans cricket team against the Parsees in the 1917–18 Bombay Quadrangular at Bombay. He made three further first-class appearances for the Europeans, the last of which came in 1918–19 Bombay Quadrangular.[5] He also played in the first-class 'victory match' for England against India in November 1918, shortly after the signing of the Armistice.[5] He scored 238 runs at an average of 34.00 in his four first-class matches.[6] His top-score of 115 came against the Indians in January 1918.[7] With the ball, he took 9 wickets (all for the Europeans) at a bowling average of 18.66, with best figures of 5 for 88 on debut against the Parsees.[8][9]
Following the war, he resumed playing minor counties cricket for Hertfordshire until 1924.[3] He also resumed his teaching career at Aldenham School, retiring in July 1944.[10] Vasey died at Norwich in June 1951. His brother, Percy, also played first-class cricket.
