Viewers in Australia will see Will's first scenes this week after Chris (James Mason) suffers a nasty injury when he is attacked by Danni Ferguson's violent ex-boyfriend Stephen Montague.
There is an instant spark between Chris and Will when they first meet, but this leaves Chris with some tough decisions to make as he is still in a relationship with jailed Hudson Walsh.
Hudson (Remy Hii) was sent to prison late last year after being exposed as the killer of bad boy Robbo Slade.
Chris decided to stay loyal to Hudson throughout his time behind bars, but the new storyline sees the mechanic begin to question his choice as he wonders whether life is too short to wait for Hudson.
New recruit Heath is based in Melbourne and his previous acting credits include a variety of short film and stage roles, as well as the lead part in web series Flat Whites.
Neighbours fans in the UK will see Will's first scenes on Channel 5 in a fortnight's time.
