Career

Holmes made his provincial debut for the Waratahs as an 18-year-old in 2005, but did not play Super 14 until 2007, when he made his debut for the Waratahs against the Brumbies. He racked up 4 caps before moving to the Brumbies in the wake of George Gregan's departure.[2]

Holmes was competing with Patrick Phibbs for the starting position at the Brumbies side, but spent the next two seasons with playing in every game, whether starting or on the bench.[2]

In 2010, he returned to the Waratahs on a two-year deal.[2] He joined the Western Force in April 2012 to cover injured players James Stannard and Justin Turner.[4] In May 2014, he signed a short-term contract with the Melbourne Rebels as injury replacement for Nic Stirzaker.[5]

Family

Holmes' older brother Luke also plays Super Rugby.[5] He is married to Sarah Holmes.[6]
