Originally drafted by St Kilda in the 1993 Pre-Season draft, Heppell's best game for the Saints came on debut. After that he managed just four more matches over two seasons before being delisted. Melbourne threw him a lifeline in 1995, but he only appeared twice in consecutive weeks during the season, and was again delisted at the end of the year.
Heppell moved to the SANFL and played in a Reserves premiership with Norwood as well as 10 senior games between 1996 and 1998 before landing a job as Reserves coach with the Box Hills Hawks. He also coached school football at Caulfield Grammar and was in charge of Mitcham in the Eastern Football League.
Played for Old Carey from 2002 to 2007, and was best on ground in a losing C Section Grand Final in his last year. Coached Xavier 2014 to 2016.
