'''Brett Trevor Holman''' (born 27 March 1984) is an Australian former professional [[Association football|soccer]] player who last played for [[Brisbane Roar FC|Brisbane Roar]] in the [[A-League]] as an attacking midfielder.

Born in Sydney, Holman played youth football for [[Northern Spirit FC|Northern Spirit]] before making his senior debut for [[Parramatta Power]]. He then moved to the Netherlands, where he played for a number of years before moving to [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] in 2012 to play in the English [[Premier League]]. Holman moved to the UAE one year later, before returning to Australia to play for [[Brisbane Roar FC|Brisbane Roar]] in 2016.

Holman represented [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]] over 60 times between 2006 and 2013, scoring eight goals. This included goals at the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]] and the [[2011 AFC Asian Cup]]. He had previously represented Australia several times at youth level, including travelling to the [[2004 Summer Olympics]] and the [[2001 FIFA U-17 World Championship]].

==Early life==
{{BLP unsourced section|date=October 2024}}
Brett Holman was born in [[Bankstown, New South Wales|Bankstown]], Sydney. He grew up in the Sydney suburb of [[Croydon Park, New South Wales|Croydon Park]]. He attended [[Christian Brothers' High School, Lewisham]]. He played junior football for the Enfield Rovers Soccer Club based in the inner west of Sydney. He left school in late 2000 to pursue his footballing career, signing with the [[Parramatta Power]].

==Club career==

Holman played for [[Northern Spirit FC|Northern Spirit]] and [[Parramatta Power]] in Australia before moving to Dutch football club [[Feyenoord]] in 2002.<ref name="ozfootball1">{{cite web|url=http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/Players/H/HO.html#HolmanBrett|title=Holman, Brett|work=Australian Player Database|publisher=OzFootball|access-date=24 June 2010}}</ref>
Once in the Netherlands he played for [[Excelsior Rotterdam]] on loan before [[N.E.C. (football club)|NEC Nijmegen]] signed him in 2006.<ref name="ozfootball1" />

On 7 April 2007 Holman scored two goals for [[N.E.C. (football club)|NEC Nijmegen]] against [[Eredivisie]] leaders, [[PSV Eindhoven]]. He was named man of the match, as [[N.E.C. (football club)|NEC Nijmegen]] won 2–1.  He was signed by [[AZ (football club)|AZ Alkmaar]] manager [[Louis van Gaal]] in the European summer of 2008 for €3m.<ref>[http://www.betinf.com/netherland_transfer.htm Football : Dutch First Division transfers in 2008/2009 season]</ref>

On 1 November 2008 Holman scored his first goal for [[AZ (football club)|AZ Alkmaar]] in a 3–3 away draw against [[SC Heerenveen]] at the [[Abe Lenstra Stadion]] in [[Heerenveen]] after coming on as a second-half replacement for [[Nick van der Velden]].

During most of the [[AZ (football club)|AZ Alkmaar]]'s title-winning [[2008–09 Eredivisie|2008–2009 Eredivisie season]] Holman struggled for starting opportunities and at the end of the campaign was rumoured to be on his way out at the club.<ref>[http://www.goal.com/en/news/462/netherlands/2009/05/14/1265006/az-set-to-part-company-with-australian-international-brett : AZ Set To Part Company With Holman], goal.com, 14 May 2009</ref> However, he was retained and was given more playing time under the new manager.

Under [[Dick Advocaat]] Holman has been given substantially more game time, including a number of appearances in the [[UEFA Europa League]]. On matchday 6, Holman impressed in [[AZ (football club)|AZ Alkmaar]]'s 1–1 draw against [[Standard Liège]].
