Vastmans started career with Patro Maasmechelen in the Belgian Second Division in 2003. After the 2004-2005 season Maasmechelen was relegated two levels to the Belgian Promotion following financial difficulties. At Ohio Leuven, Vastmans quickly grew out to become a regular, seldom missing a match.
As of 2012, he is still the player with the second most matches for Ohio Leuven, with only Bjorn Ruytinx having played more.
Early through the 2010-2011 season, Vastmans suffered a severe leg fracture, causing him to be sidelined for almost the whole season, only playing 20 minutes in the final match. Although completely fit, Vastmans never regained his status of first team regular and only played in one match at the highest level, at home against Club Brugge when he came on in injury time.
Due to lack of playing time, Vastmans was allowed to leave during the 2011-2012 winter transfer window. He opted to join his former team, in the meantime renamed to Patro Eisden Maasmechelen and playing in the Belgian Third Division.
In June 2012, following the 10th anniversary of the founding of Oud-Heverlee Leuven, the "Oud-Heverlee Leuven Merit Award" was handed out to the player with the most merit for the team in the inaugural 10 years.
Vastmans was voted into fourth place by the supporters, only being beaten by François Sterchele, Bjorn Ruytinx and Jordan Remacle.
