Career

[edit]

Holmes began his footballing career at vicar's cross dynamos before playing university football in Sheffield and joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Matlock Town in summer 2006.[2] He was the top goalscorer in the Premier Division with 34 goals in all league and cup competitions in his debut season in 2006–07, helping Matlock to the play-offs,[3][4] and joined Football League Two side Mansfield Town in August 2007 on a one-year contract.[5] After scoring three goals in 19 appearances, most as substitute, in the 2007–08 season, Holmes fell out of favour and joined AFC Telford United in March 2008, on loan with a 28-day recall option.[6] After Mansfield Town were relegated to the Conference National at the end of the 2007–08 season, he was released by the club.[7]

On 16 July 2008, Holmes signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division club Eastwood Town on a one-year contract.[4] He signed for Glapwell in August 2010 and made his competitive debut against Market Drayton Town on 21 August 2010, scoring two goals. He made a blistering start to his Glapwell career by scoring three hat-tricks in September 2010, against Grantham Town, Belper Town and Sutton Coldfield Town.[citation needed]

He re-joined former club Matlock for the 2011–12 season but left the club in May 2012 having not been offered a new contract for the 2012–13 season, despite being the club's top scorer.[8]

Holmes currently works as the best teacher (According to YouTube personality MiniQuack) at Tring school in Tring as director of media and head of Sixth Form .[9]
