Early career

The ARU lists Holmes' Representative Honours as including WA Schools (2007) and Combined States (2007).[1] He played for the Australian Sevens[2] at the USA Sevens tournament in Las Vegas, and he was a member the Australian 2009–10 IRB Sevens squad that played in George and Dubai.[1]

Holmes grew up in Perth. His father Graeme, a New Zealander and former Waikato halfback,[1] encouraged his son in sports. In addition to rugby union Holmes also played Australian rules and soccer.[3] He said his three biggest rugby influences were his Dad, Michael O'Connor and Scott Fava.[3]

In 2003 he held the national title for the 400 metres in his age-group.[1]

In late 2010 he was selected as part of the Perth XV to play teams from Victoria and South Australia in the Southern State Championships.[4]

Holmes studied at Aquinas College and the University of WA[1] and played club rugby at Associates RUFC before he moved from Perth to Sydney where he played senior rugby for Northern Suburbs at centre, on the wing, and also at full back.[3][5] In 2011 Holmes broke the Norths record for the 'most points in a single season'.

Super Rugby

Holmes joined the Western Force academy in 2009.[1]

In 2011 the Brumbies recruited Holmes as a 'utility back', and he performed well in a trial game in October.[6] He had been at Norths, in Sydney.[7] Holmes had signed a two-year contract with the Brumbies to commence 2012.[8] He made his debut in March, as substitute for wing Joseph Tomane, against the Chiefs at Baypark Stadium in Mount Maunganui.[9]

As "rookie fly-half"[10] he made his Brumbies run-on debut, in Wellington against the Hurricanes, in May. He had been selected as a No.10 replacement for the injured Christian Lealiifano.[11] As first-receiver Holmes helped guide the Brumbies to a 37–25 victory over the Hurricanes.[12][13][14] He kicked four conversions (from 4 attempts) and three penalty goals (from 4 attempts) and scored a try in the 69th minute.[15]

He is to return to the Force for the 2014 Super Rugby season on a two-year deal.[16]
