About Jordan
Jordan Holmes, born in Sydney, played football for the Rockdale City Suns and Sydney United in the NSW Youth Premier League.
Despite his talent on the grass, he was also an avid athlete on another pitch - the baseball pitch. He played for the New South Wales Institute of Sport playing positions pitcher, batsman and shortstop at the regional, state and national level.
He proved his devotion to football in 2013, moving to South England to play for AFC Bournemouth. Since leaving Australia, Jordan has played for a handful of other clubs across the United Kingdom, including Weymouth FC for the 2015-16 season, and St. Mirren for the conclusion of the 2018-19 season.
Jordan would then return to Australia in 2021, signing with Brisbane Roar in the A-Leauge.
The six-foot guardian of the goal has represented Australia for both the U19s and U20s Asian Championship, as well as the U20s World Cup Qualifiers. At 19-years-old, Jordan was named to the national Young Socceroos squad to play against Brazil in Wollongong. He is also the vice captain of the U23 Australian Olyroos squad.
Holmes made his Olympic debut in Tokyo 2020 as part of the travelling Australian squad. Despite a first-game victory over Argentina, the squad failed to qualify for the knockout-stage of the tournament after defeats to Spain and Egypt.
