Van Heerden left AmaZulu F.C. for Chippa United F.C. in 2016, following AmaZulu F.C.'s unsuccessful campaign to gain promotion from the National First Division to the Premier Soccer League.[4] In 2017 Van Heerden made the switch to Orlando Pirates from Chippa United F.C.[5] Van Heerden returned to AmaZulu in 2018, this after both he and Orlando Pirates agreed to mutually terminate his contract.[6]
