In his two previous clubs he has gained promotion from the Vanarama National League North, writes Tom Feaheny.
Alfreton who last season stayed in the division in 17th place last season have turned to the man who took the Shaymen up during his first season there.
“Alfreton has always been a good club, I’ve known Wayne for a long time and there has always been a good feel to Alfreton when I’ve brought teams here," Heath told the club's website.
"It’s very well run and the club has been successful in the past when they were in the Conference and it’s an exciting project here.”
"My message to the fans is that we want to bring success again to the club and get Alfreton back to where we think it should be."
