[edit] Oldham career

Andy Holt started his career at Oldham[1], where he stayed for six years, playing 114 times and scoring 10 goals. The young Holt sufficiently impressed Hull City during a loan spell [2], who paid £150,000 to secure his services. He came up through the club's centre of excellence, and became a firm favourite with fans.

[edit] Hull and Wrexham

His career at Hull was quite good to start; he played 30 times in his first season [3]. However, the following year, he found himself surplus to requirements, first loaned out to Barnsley and then Shrewsbury. In the 2003-04 season, he sat on the bench mostly, only starting six of his 25 games that season. He found himself moving to Wrexham on a free transfer. At Wrexham, he played 86 matches, scoring on 10 occasions[4]. At the end of his two-year contract, he got offered a deal by Coca-Cola League One side Northampton, allowing him to prove himself in the next league up.

[edit] Recent career at Northampton

In his first season at Northampton, having been snapped up on a Bosman transfer by new Cobblers manager John Gorman, he played 37 games, none of them from the bench as had been his career's main problem, and scored twice. He was retained by the club at the end of the 2006-07 season.
