Born in Sydney, Holmes attended Aquinas College in Menai. In 2012–13 he played for Rockdale City Suns and Sydney United 58 in the New South Wales Youth Premier League. He was also selected and played for the New South Wales Institute of Sport and attended the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS). He represented Cronulla Sutherland, Sydney and New South Wales in Baseball as a pitcher and batsman and specialist shortstop. In 2013, Holmes moved to England to join Bournemouth.
Club career[edit]
Bournemouth[edit]
In 2017–18, Holmes continued to be part of the first team squad, playing 18 times for the U23s.[citation needed] Holmes signed a one-year contract extension in May 2018.[citation needed] In January 2019, Holmes joined Scottish Premiership side St Mirren on loan until the end of the season.[4] He was released by Bournemouth at the end of the season.[5]
Ebbsfleet United[edit]
Holmes joined Ebbsfleet United in August 2019, making his debut in a 2–2 against Notts County.[6] A week later, Holmes saved a second half penalty against Aldershot Town.[citation needed] He saved another penalty in a match against Wrexham, although it could not prevent a 1–0 loss.[citation needed]
Brisbane Roar[edit]
In August 2021, it was announced that Holmes would be leaving Ebbsfleet for an opportunity in his home country of Australia with A-League team Brisbane Roar.[6]
International career[edit]
Holmes has represented Australia at national level for the U19s and U20s in the Asian Championship and U20's World Cup qualifiers. In May 2015 Holmes was selected to play against Brazil for Australia's U20s at Win Stadium Wollongong. Although Australia were defeated 1–0, Holmes produced a man of the match performance pulling out a string of outstanding saves from Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City) and Andrea Pereira (Manchester United).[7] Holmes is currently vice captain of the U23 Australian Olyroos.[8]
Holmes qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. He was part of the Olyroos Olympic squad. The team beat Argentina in their first group match but were unable to win another match. They were therefore not in medal contention.[9]
