Career Edit

Holmes was born in Stoke-on-Trent and played non-league football with Parkway Clayton before joining Stoke City in 1985.[1] He spent two seasons in the reserves and made his professional debut against Shrewsbury Town in 1987–88.[1] He made just two more appearances that season and failed to make one in 1988–89 before he was given his chance in December 1989 due to injuries.[1] He played in nine matches at centre back in 1989–90 but his inexperience lead to him being dropped for Noel Blake and due to Stoke's relegation he left for Fourth Division Doncaster Rovers.[1] He played 13 times for Doncaster leaving the club after his place was taken by Jack Ashurst.
