Club career

Early years

Adept in midfield or as a defender, [3] Holldack began his career in his homeland with Hennef 05, before joining Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln in 2011. [4] He made 78 appearances and scored six goals for the club's U17 and U19 teams between 2012 and 2015. [5] He progressed to the club's reserve team in March 2015 and was an unused substitute during three Regionalliga West matches in March 2015. [2] Holldack departed the Müngersdorfer Stadion at the end of the 2014–15 season. [6]

Brentford

Holldack moved to England to sign a two-year Development Squad contract with Championship club Brentford on 1 July 2015. [6] He performed the role of a utility player during the 2015–16 season and scored 14 goals in 31 appearances. [7] After featuring regularly during the 2016–17 pre-season, [8] a spate of injuries saw Holldack called into the first team squad for the opening match of the season versus Huddersfield Town. [2] [9] He remained an unused substitute during the 2–1 defeat and made the first senior appearance of his career with a start in the following match, playing at right back in a 1–0 EFL Cup first round extra time loss to Exeter City on 9 August 2016. [10] Despite failing to win a further first team call-up, [2] head coach Dean Smith remarked in early January 2017 that Holldack had been "constantly" training with the first team squad. [11]

After a period on trial with Sportfreunde Lotte at the club's winter training camp and featuring as an unused substitute during a 3. Liga match, [12] Holldack moved on loan to Regionalliga West club Wuppertaler SV until the end of the 2016–17 season on 20 January 2017. [13] He made his debut with a start versus Fortuna Düsseldorf II on 10 February and scored the first senior goal of his career in the 5–1 victory. [2] Holldack made 13 appearances and scored three goals during his spell at the Stadion am Zoo. [2] Holldack signed a one-year contract extension with Brentford on 22 June 2017, [14] but after failing to win any further first team call ups, [2] he departed the club on 31 August 2017. [15]

KFC Uerdingen 05

On 31 August 2017, Holldack returned to Germany to join Regionalliga West club KFC Uerdingen 05 on two-year contract. [16] In what remained of the 2017–18 season, he made 26 appearances, scored two goals and celebrated promotion to the 3. Liga after victory in the Regionalliga promotion play-offs. [2] [17] Holldack made 19 appearances and scored one goal during the 2018–19 season and was part of the club's Lower Rhine Cup-winning squad. [2] [18] He was released in June 2019, [19] after making 45 appearances and scoring three goals for the club. [2]

Bonner SC

On 2 July 2019, Holldack joined Regionalliga West club Bonner SC on a one-year contract. [20] He made 15 appearances and scored three goals before his departure in January 2020. [2] [21]

VfR Aalen

On 11 January 2020, Holldack transferred to Regionalliga Südwest club VfR Aalen on an 18-month contract. [21] He failed to win a call into a matchday squad before the Regionalliga Südwest season was ended prematurely. [22] After making three early-2020–21 season appearances, [2] Holldack had his contract terminated by mutual consent on 2 October 2020. [23]

Rot Weiss Ahlen

In October 2020, Holldack transferred to Regionalliga West club Rot Weiss Ahlen. [24] During what remained of the 2020–21 season, he made 28 appearances and scored five goals and departed the club at the end of the campaign. [25] [26]

RC Grasse

On 21 July 2021, Holldack transferred to French Championnat National 2 club RC Grasse. [27] Three weeks later, personal issues saw him depart the club. [28]

Return to Rot Weiss Ahlen

In August 2021, Holldack returned to Regionalliga West club Rot Weiss Ahlen and signed a two-year contract. [28] [29] He made 29 appearances and scored 9 goals during a mid-table 2021–22 season. [2] [30] Holldack's desire to leave the club during the 2022 off-season saw him frozen out of the squad, [31] though he returned to the team for the opening match of the 2022–23 season. [2] He made 30 appearances and scored a career-high 13 goals during the 2022–23 season, [2] in which the club narrowly avoided relegation. [32] Holldack departed the club in May 2023 and made 84 appearances across his two spells, [33] scoring 24 goals. [2]

1. FC Bocholt

On 4 May 2023, Holldack transferred to Regionalliga West club 1. FC Bocholt and signed a two-year contract. [33] He made 33 appearances and scored three goals during a 2023–24 season in which the club finished second, [2] albeit 12 points behind the automatic promotion place. [34] Holldack signed a new "long-term" contract in June 2024. [35]
