Tyrone Holmes (born 15 April 1986) is a Scottish rugby union footballer. He currently plays for the Glasgow Warriors in the Pro 12. He has previously played for the Stormers in Super Rugby [1] and for Western Province in the Currie Cup and Vodacom Cup, as well as the Griquas and Cornish Pirates.

Holmes was named in the Scotland A squad for their match against England Saxons on 31 January 2014,[2] helping them to a 13-13 draw.[3]

Holmes helped Western Province win the Vodacom Cup for the first time in 2012, he made 9 appearances and scored 2 tries. He also played his first Super Rugby game later in the season.[4] As a result of a loose forward injury crisis, Holmes debuted against the Lions on 30 June 2012. He started the game in the number 6 jersey and was replaced in the 52nd minute by Tiaan Liebenberg in a 27-17 Stormers win.[5]

After the 2012 Currie Cup Premier Division season, he joined Italian National Championship of Excellence team Petrarca Rugby for one season and then moved to Glasgow Warriors.[6]
