Career

Heath was born in Chesterfield, grew up in Birchover, and played for Darley Dale as a boy. He joined Leeds United's youth system as an 11-year-old, and moved to Manchester United at 14.[2] He earned his professional contract at the end of 2000. He joined Royal Antwerp of the Belgian First Division on loan in January 2003; he played 13 league games in the 2003–04 season, but saved his goalscoring for friendly matches.[3] He then joined Football League Two side Cambridge United on a month's loan in late 2004, and made his English first-team debut on 7 December in a 2–1 defeat at home to Scunthorpe United.[4] He spent the first half of the 2005–06 season on loan to Swindon Town, but scored only once, against Yeovil Town in his home league debut, and struggled to maintain a first-team place.[5]

He returned to Manchester United in January 2006 and was released, to join Chesterfield until the end of the season.[2][6] He moved on to Macclesfield Town, linking up with former Manchester United colleague Tommy Lee,[7] but was released by manager Paul Ince after just one season.[8] In September 2007, after an extended trial with Chester City, he signed for Farsley Celtic of the Conference National.[9] Heath struggled to hold down a first-team place due to the form of Damien Reeves.Шаблон:Citation needed After a handful of appearances, including helping Farsley to reach the last 16 of the FA Trophy for the first time,[10] he left the club.

Although no longer a professional, Heath still plays football in the Northern Counties East League Division 1 for Knaresborough Town.[11] He is currently playing cricket for Heslington CC in York.
