Club career

Auterac is a Saracens academy graduate. His lack of first team appearances at Saracens between 2011 and 2014 contributed to a 2014 move to Bath. [1] He was a regular starter in Bath's successful 2014–15 Premiership Rugby season. Bath reached the league playoff final before being defeated by Auterac's former side Saracens. [2]

On 14 November 2018 it was revealed that Auterac had agreed terms with Harlequins. [3] [4] Auterac went on to make his Quins debut in a Premiership Rugby Cup game against former club, Bath, in late October 2018. [5]

On 21 January 2020, Auterac signed for Premiership rivals Northampton Saints from the 2020–21 season. [6] [7] In his first season at the club he played in the EPCR Challenge Cup quarter-final defeat against Ulster. [8]

Auterac joined Edinburgh for the 2022–23 United Rugby Championship. [9] After making only four appearances it was announced in April 2023 he would leave. [10] Auterac subsequently retired from the sport and became a chef. [11]

International career

Auterac was a member of the England under-20 side that won the 2012 Six Nations Under 20s Championship. [12]

Auterac qualified to represent Scotland due to his maternal grandmother and in June 2021 he was called up to the Scotland squad for Summer internationals. [13] [14] All these fixtures were cancelled due to Covid and he remained uncapped. [13]
