Holland served in the Army during World War II.[3] Commencing his first-grade NSWRFL Premiership playing career with St. George in 1947,[4] he was selected to represent New South Wales in 1948.[5]
In 1948 Holland was also first selected for the Australian national team, becoming Kangaroo No. 252.[6] He also went on the 1948-49 Kangaroo tour.[7]
At the end of the 1949 NSWRFL season, Holland played for St. George at prop forward in their grand final victory against South Sydney.
