Samuel Holmén was born in Annelund just outside of Borås, and started playing football in Annelunds IF. In 1998 he went to IF Elfsborg. After a few years in the youth squad he was promoted to the first squad, and made his debut when he came on as a substitute in the semi final of the Swedish Cup in September 2002. Since then he has been a first team regular, and he is considered to be one of the most promising Swedish footballers.
Holmén's favourite position is on the central midfield, and his style of play as that of a box-to-box player, being a good defensive ball winner, as well as a good playmaker and goal scorer.
On 30 August 2007 he transferred to Danish club Brøndby IF.[1]
