Career

In May 2024, Holtam signed a first professional contract with Gillingham. [3] During the 2024–25 season, he spent time in the Isthmian League South East Division on loan with Herne Bay, Phoenix Sports and Ashford United. [4] [5]

On 12 April 2025, with both of Gillingham's senior goalkeepers unavailable, Holtam made his senior debut for Gillingham, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 victory over Milton Keynes Dons. [6] [7] Having impressed on his debut, manager Gareth Ainsworth retained the faith in the young goalkeeper, as opposed to recalling Jake Turner [8] with Holtam featuring against Cheltenham Town. [9]

On 31 July 2025, Holtam signed on a season-long loan for Ashford United. [10] He was recalled in November 2025, [11] later signing a new two-year contract. [12]
