as a player manager with LSL side Malahide united, but only stayed one season and left in summer 2010. He was appointed Ayrfield uniteds new manager in July 2010 with close friend Alan Keely as his assistant. At the time Ayrfield were an underachieving team in the Aul's Premier C division. In his first season, he guided them to runners up in both the league and the regency cup. Ayrfield were unlucky not to win the title as they had gone unbeaten in the league until March. His second season was just as successful, Ayrfield came runners up in Premier B and also came runners up in the Liddy cup to a strong Kilbarrack side. Ayrfield needed a last minute equalizer in their final game to secure promotion to the Aul's top division which sparked wild celebrations. In his third season which was Ayrfields first in the Aul's top flight they finished a very respectable 4th place. Hedderman resigned from his post with 3 games remaining to take over the Garda football team in July 2013. In his only season with the Gards he guided them to promotion to the LSL's third tier. He resigned in June 2014. Post-playing career On 19 February 2019, it was announced that Hedderman would become the business development manager for the Aberdeen FC Community Trust. This role links with Aberdeen's work with schools and encouraging more school children to take up football.
