The son of Allan Borman Heath senior, he was born at Faccombe Manor near Andover, Hampshire on New Year's Day in 1865. He was educated at Cheltenham College, where he played both cricket and football for the college.[1] Whilst still studying at Cheltenham, Heath made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Somerset at Taunton in 1883. He made a further six first-class appearances for Hampshire to 1885,[2] with his first-class career coming to an end when Hampshire lost first-class status at the end of the 1885 season. In his seven first-class appearances for Hampshire, he scored 132 runs at an average of 9.42, with a highest score of 42.[3] He also took two wickets with his right-arm fast-medium bowling.[4] Following the loss of Hampshire's first-class status, Heath continued to play for the county in second-class county cricket until 1892.[5]
In his later years, Heath struggled with mental health. He committed suicide on 21 June 1913 by jumping in front of a train which was pulling into Cullompton railway station in Devon, having suffered a mental breakdown.[6]
