Herbie Heath made a handful of appearances for Exeter City in 1989 having joined the club from Darlaston.

He signed a short-term contract with Exeter City in early 1989 after impressing on trial in a reserve team match and was soon called-up to make his debut for the first-team as substitute in a 2-1 home win over Darlington on 4 February 1989. After making his first full-start in the next game at Scunthorpe United, Herbie made a further three appearances before spending a period on loan with Worcester City. 

Having his final City outing in the Football League Trophy at Bristol Rovers on 17 January 1990, he left the club later that year and moved back to the Wolverhampton area.
