Tom Holmes

Career
Holmes came through the youth set-up at Reading and was making the odd cup appearance each season until 19/20 where he signed a short term loan with Gateshead. He impressed Ireland with his 3 goals and 1 assists in 14 games. Although he got 12 yellow cards in those games, Gateshead were keen to bring him back but it was obvious that his ability was too good to play out of the football league and he stayed at Reading as a future prospect.
