Heaney was a member of the Ireland Under-20 squad that won the 2010 Six Nations Championship and also competed in the IRB Junior World Championships later that year.
He made his senior Ulster debut against Harlequins in August 2010 and rejoined the club from Doncaster Knights where he spent a successful six months playing in the RFU Championship.
