Brisbane Roar
In August 2021, it was announced that Holmes would be leaving Ebbsfleet for an opportunity in his home country of Australia with A-League Men team Brisbane Roar.[5] Holmes made 37 league appearances over two seasons with the club and left the club at the conclusion of the 2022-23 season.
Rochedale Rovers
In July 2023, it was announced that Holmes had signed for NPL Queensland club Rochedale Rovers.[6] Holmes departed the club in August 2024 having made 18 league appearances.

In May 2015 Holmes was selected to play against Brazil for Australia's U20s at Win Stadium Wollongong.

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.[10]
