Career

Born in Salford, Greater Manchester, Holden started his career with Bolton Wanderers and then moved on to Oldham Athletic after a successful loan period. After over 100 first-team appearances for them he joined Peterborough United in 2005. He was made captain but, with his contract close to expiry, he was transferred to Falkirk on 1 January 2007 for an undisclosed fee.[2] Holden is nominally a right back but can also play as a centre back or left back. He occasionally played in central midfield while with Peterborough, largely due to the absence of Paul Carden.

Despite his English birth and having played for the England Youth team, Holden qualifies to represent Northern Ireland through his grandparents (from Omagh) and was called up to their full squad for the first time in June 2007.[3] On January 27, 2008, Holden received a broken leg, after a late tackle by Celtic's Stephen McManus, during Falkirk's 1–0 home defeat.[4]

Holden signed a two-year contract with Shrewsbury Town on 26 June 2009. On 5 August 2010 Holden signed on loan at Rotherham United,[5] initially for only one month but this was extended twice until he was recalled early by Shrewsbury on 20 October.[6] On 31 January 2011, Holden had his contract cancelled by mutual agreement[7] and he became a free agent. Chesterfield FC signed him on 3 February 2011 in a short term contract that will expire at the current season's end.[8]

On November 3rd 2011, Holden joined Rochdale AFC on loan until January 2012. At the same time, central defender Neal Trotman made the move from Rochdale to Chesterfield.
