Heenan was a member of Northcote's 1929 VFA premiership team.[2][3]

He spent the 1930 VFL season with North Melbourne.[4] In round nine, his seventh league appearance, he was reported for striking Richmond player Bert Foster with his elbow, for which he received an eight-game suspension.[4][5] His return, in round 18, would be his final appearances for North Melbourne.[4]

Later in the decade, Heenan played for the Sunshine Football Club.[6]

His son, Jim P. Heenan, played for Essendon in the 1950s.[7][8]
