Holly Lam-Moores (born 12 September 1990) is a British team handball player playing as a left back. [1]

Born in Burnley, Lancashire to an English father and a Chinese mother, [2] Lam-Moores started playing handball aged 12 at Alder Grange High School in Rawtenstall after it had been introduced by coach Bill Baillie. [3] She later joined Haslingden Handball Club on Baillie's recommendation. [3] [4] She made her debut in Great Britain women's national handball team in 2006. [5] In 2010, Lam-Moores was named Handball Player of the Year by the British Olympic Association. [6] [7]

In 2012, she was named as a member of the Great Britain's first ever Olympic women's handball team at the 2012 London Olympics. [4] A week after, it was revealed that Lam-Moores had signed a one-year professional contract with the Danish club Viborg HK. [8] It was revealed soon after the Olympic campaign had begun that she was suffering from a stress fracture of the spine. [9] Despite this set back, she was able to score two goals in Great Britain Women's second Olympic game against Russia. [9]
