[edit] Club career

With the Central Coast Mariners he scored 8 goals from left back in 24 games and was subsequently named in FourFourTwo's A-League dream team. In March 2006 he and fellow team mate Michael Beauchamp had a ten day trial with German Bundesliga club Nuremberg. On 1 July 2006 both players transferred to Nuremberg on season-long loans. Dean has struggled to get senior games but has been a regular fixture in the Reserves scoring two goals. He has now signed a deal with the Mariners until the end of the 2009/10 season.

Heffernan suffered a broken leg during the Mariners 4-5 loss to Sydney FC on 22 December 2007, due to a tackle by Ufuk Talay. As a result he was unable to play in the rest of the the 2007/08 A-League season.
