Career

edit

Holmes began his career at Burton Albion, joining Halesowen Town initially on loan in January 2020, before signing permanently in September 2020.[2] He spent the 2022–23 season on dual registration with Hereford, leaving the club in April 2023 after saying he did not have the mentality to be in a relegation fight.[3][4]

He signed for Stamford in July 2024,[5] but later that month he moved to Rotherham United after featuring against them for Stamford in a pre-season friendly.[6][7][8] After two seasons, he left the club after failing to agree a new contract at the end of the 2025–26 season.[9] He joined National League club Boston United on a one-year deal with an option for a further year on 1 July 2026.[10]
