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 ahead of moving back to the Wolverhampton area.
