Career

Despite being a Liverpool fan,[2] Heath was signed by Manchester United as a schoolboy. After being released by United, he signed for Nottingham Forest.

Heath made his full first team debut in August 2008 in a 4–0 League Cup win against Morecambe. He made his Championship debut in a 2–1 defeat to Burnley at the City Ground. In total, Heath made 12 first team appearances during the 2008–2009 season.[3]

On 26 June 2009, Heath signed for Lincoln City on an initial six month loan deal.[4] However, the need for a hernia operation[5] restricted Heath to just five league and cup appearances for the club before he returned to the City Ground on the completion of his loan.[6] On 19 January 2010 he agreed to leave Forest by mutual consent.[7] On 8 February 2010, along with James Reid, he began a one week trial with Exeter City.[8] In November 2010 Heath joined Hereford United on-loan initially for a month but this was later extended until the end of the season.He signed a 2 year deal to stay at Hereford in June 2011 following his release from Exeter City.[9]
