Career
Holt joined Queen of the South in August 2010 and began playing for their Under-19 squad.[3] In June 2011 Holt was awarded the Jade Moore Memorial Trophy for being Queens under-19s player of the season.[4] Holt made his senior debut on 17 September 2011 as a substitute in a 4–1 victory against Greenock Morton in a Scottish First Division fixture replacing hat-trick scorer Kevin Smith.[5]
Holt made his first start on 12 November 2011 against Partick Thistle in a goalless home draw.[5] Holt was sent off against Dundee in December 2011 and this was his first ever dismissal.[5] Holt's debut in the Scottish Cup was in a 1–0 away win against Partick Thistle on 7 January 2012 with the goal scored by Daniel Carmichael.[6] This was Queens first win in the competition since their 4–3 semi-final win against Aberdeen in 2008 at Hampden Park.[6] At the end of the 2011–12 season Queens were relegated to the Scottish Second Division but despite this Holt remained with the club, having signed a new contract in December 2011.[7]
In May 2015, Holt signed a pre-contract with Scottish Premiership club Dundee, with the move to be completed in July 2015.[8]
