In 2010 Auty rode the off-season in Australia where he won the Queensland State Championship at the North Brisbane Speedway, as well as the Jack Young Solo Cup at the Gillman Speedway in Adelaide.
Auty was included in the Elite League draft for the 2015 season and picked by Leicester Lions. He was again selected for the Lions for 2016.
After struggling in the SGB Premiership for Lions, Auty was dropped, and continued to ride in the SGB Championship for Scorpions until announcing his retirement from the sport at the end of May. He reversed his decision, however, a few days later.
