He was sent out on loan in the 2005-06 to Swindon Town, he returned to join Royal Antwerp FC on loan, without making any Belgian league appearances. Heaton was then sent on a season-long loan to Cardiff City FC on 23 May 2008. He returned to United, only for, on 15 August 2009, to be sent out to Queen's Park Rangers FC on loan for three months as an emergency, without competing in the League. On his return, on 13 November 2009, he joined Rochdale AFC, and on 12 February 2010, he went to Wycombe Wanderers FC, to see the season out. Heaton returned to United to be released. On 15 June 2010, Heaton signed for Cardiff City FC, but again, after only being second-choice, he was released on 14 May 2012. In the July, Watford FC were lined up as possible suitors, but the deal was scrapped. Then after a trial, he signed with Bristol City FC on 27 July, and turned down a second year to join Burnley FC in May 2013. On 1 August 2019, he signed for Aston Villa FC in an £8 million transfer deal. Rejoined Manchester United FC on 2 July 2021.
