Playing career

Club

Although he plays for Tyrone, Holmes plays his club football for Armagh Harps where he is club captain.^[2]

Inter-county

Holmes has been a long-standing member of the Tyrone panel, and his versatility has meant he is normally an important member of the panel although his career has often been blighted by numerous injuries.^[3]^[4] He has won honours with the county at youth and senior level, including the 1993 Ulster Minor Championship as well as four Ulster Senior Championship medals and three All-Ireland Championship medals.

As of 2008 he remains a member of the Tyrone panel for the upcoming National League campaign.^[5]
