Outen originally played with Williamstown in the VFA from 1899-1901 and returned there after his time with the Saints in 1907 to vice-captain and star in the centre in 'Town's 18-point premiership victory that year over West Melbourne, the first flag in Williamstown's history. He captained the team in 1908 & 1909 and finished up with 99 games and 19 goals up until the end of 1909.
