 The disappointment was eased by an Ulster Footballer of the Year award, and a call-up to the Northern Ireland squad.His continued good form with Coleraine over the following seasons brought Healy an Ulster Cup winner's medal and another Irish Cup final appearance, though his successful penalty proved to not be enough to prevent Glentoran winning the 1986 final by a 2–1 scoreline.During his time at Coleraine he played in eight European ties, scoring on two separate occasions in the UEFA Cup in September 1983 and September 1986 against Sparta Rotterdam and FC Stahl Brandenburg.
