On 30 August 2017, he joined French Ligue 2 club Chamois Niortais on a three-year contract.

In August 2020, he joined Bulgarian club CSKA Sofia.

International career

Vion played at the 2012 UEFA U19 Championship. He was selected for France U20 in the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup. In the group stage 2–1 defeat against Spain U20 he came on as a 78th-minute substitute for Florian Thauvin and scored his debut goal in the 90+1 minute.
