Club career

Connah's Quay Nomads

Healey started his career Connah's Quay Nomands, joining their youth setup at Under-16 level in 2009.[3][2] He made his first team debut for the club as a substitute during a 6–1 victory on the opening Cymru Alliance match of the 2011–12 season against Caersws and made 10 league appearances as the club won promotion to the Welsh Premier League.[4][2] The following season, he made his debut in the Welsh Premier League, coming off the bench against Bangor City and went on to score 12 league goals for the club during the first half of the 2012–13 season. His prolific form saw him attract the attention of several clubs and Healey spent time on trial with Stoke City and Manchester City.[3]

Cardiff City

On 28 January 2013, he signed for Cardiff City.[5] In March 2014 he signed a new contract with the club.[6] On 11 May 2014, he made his first-team debut, on the last day of the season, in a 2-1 defeat against Chelsea as a substitute in place of Craig Bellamy.[7]

Healey signed on loan for League One club Colchester United on 19 September 2014. He joined the club as back-up to first choice striker Freddie Sears, initially signing until 20 December.[8] Healey made his debut, coming on as a substitute in the second half, and scored in a 3-0 win over Crewe, which was followed with another in the next game, in a 4-2 loss against Preston North End.[9][10] Having made ten appearance and scored four times so far, Healey loan spell with Colchester United was extended further until the end of the season.[11] On 19 March 2015, Healey was recalled by his parent club Cardiff.[12] On 2 April 2015, in a bizarre turn of events, Healey was re-loaned to Colchester United as a protracted loan move to League 2 team Newport County fell through after the move was blocked by FIFA.[13] A decision that was branded unbelievable by Newport manager Jimmy Dack.[14]

On 1 September 2015, Healey signed for Scottish Premiership club Dundee on loan until January 2016.[15] He made a total of 7 appearances for the club, scoring once during a 2-1 defeat to Kilmarnock, before his loan spell was ended early following an injury.
