After a while, in 2009, he went back to Brujas and immediately became a key player for them. The next season, he returned to Santos de Guápiles. His great performance caught the eye of one of Costa Rica's top teams, Saprissa. They signed Heiner on a temporary deal (called a loan) in early 2011.
In 2012, Heiner Mora began playing for Hønefoss, a team in Norway. Playing in a new country was tough for him. He faced challenges like a different climate, learning a new language, and being far away from his family. Because of these difficulties, he decided to return to Costa Rica in May 2013.
In August 2013, Heiner signed a one-year contract with Belén to play in Costa Rica's top league, the Costa Rican Primera División. In the summer of 2014, he went back to play for Saprissa.
