From 1953 to 1969, he represented the county in 39 Championship matches, the last of which came against Dorset.[1] He played a single List A match for the county against Hertfordshire in the 1969 Gillette Cup.[2] In this match he scored a 3 runs[3] before being dismissed by Brian Collins. It was with the ball that he starred, taking 6/14 and earning himself the man-of-the-match award.[4][5]

Healey served in the Royal Navy, which accounted for his infrequent appearances for Devon. It was in 1964 that he made his first-class debut for a Combined Services cricket team against Cambridge University. He played his second and final first-class match in the same season against Oxford University.[6] In his 2 first-class matches he scored 14 runs at batting average of 3.50, with a high score of 7.[7] With the ball he bowled 49 wicket-less overs.[8]
