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 side 1. FC Köln in 2011.[4] He made 78 appearances and scored six goals for the club's U17 and U19 teams and helped the latter side to the Junioren Pokal in the 2012–13 season.[5] He progressed to the club's reserve team in March 2015 and was an unused substitute for three Regionalliga West matches late in the 2014–15 season.[5] 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 side 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 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.[9][10] 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.[11] Despite failing to win a further first team call-up,[10] head coach Dean Smith remarked in early January 2017 that Holldack had been "constantly" training with the first team squad.[12] On 20 January 2017, he departed on loan until the end of the 2016–17 season and signed a one-year contract extension on 22 June 2017.[13][14] After failing to win any further first team call ups, Holldack departed the club on 31 August 2017.[15]

Wuppertaler SV (loan)

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,[5][16] 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.[5] Holldack made 13 appearances and scored three goals during his spell at the Stadion am Zoo.[5]

KFC Uerdingen 05

On 31 August 2017, Holldack returned to Germany to join Regionalliga West club KFC Uerdingen 05 on two-year contract.[17] 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.[5][18] Holldack made 20 appearances and scored one goal during the 2018–19 season and was part of the club's Lower Rhine Cup-winning squad.[5] He was released in June 2019,[19] after making 46 appearances and scoring three goals for the club.[5]

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.[5][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.[5][22] After making three early-2020–21 season appearances,[5] 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]

International career

Holldack won two caps for Germany at U18 level, appearing in matches versus Moldova U19 and Serbia during a friendly tournament in Israel in December 2013.[25][26]
