Carl Heggs (born 11 October 1970) is an English former professional footballer who played for 13 different clubs including West Bromwich Albion and Swansea City.

On 1 August 1997, Heggs make the return north to join Northampton Town for £60,000, having been on the losing side against the Cobblers in the Division Three play-off final three months earlier.

The undoubted highlight of Heggs' spell at Rushden was scoring the opening goal in a 3–1 FA Cup Third Round Replay defeat to Premiership side Leeds United at Elland Road.

He quickly struck up an effective partnership with Luke Beckett, which proved particularly successful in a 5–0 win over Mansfield Town, but it was not enough to avert relegation and Heggs moved on.

Heggs signed for Conference National side Forest Green Rovers in 2001 playing under former England international Nigel Spink.

A 25-yard screamer against Halifax Town,[4] in a 2–1 defeat and a powerful and determined run through the heart of the Stoke City defence, laying off a perfect pass for Nathan Jackson to slot into the empty net for the opening goal of the replay, however, Tamworth lost the game on penalties after drawing 1–1 in normal time.

[10] In August 2011, Heggs signed along with Jon Stevenson and Matt Piper, both formerly of Leicester City, for East Midlands Counties Football League side Oadby Town.

[citation needed] After Hinckley United manager Dean Thomas resigned on 10 October 2012 following an early F.A Cup exit and a poor start to the Conference North league campaign, Heggs was put in caretaker charge of the football club alongside Neil Lyne.
