Lee Holmes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lee Holmes (born 2 April 1987) is an English football midfielder who currently plays for Derby County. Holmes is widely tipped to play top level football in the future. He has recently returned to Derby County having completed a loan spell at Bradford City in League One. When he returned he was suffering from a stubborn ankle injury.

Discovered by George Burley a former Derby County and Ipswich Town manager, Holmes made his debut for Derby on Boxing Day 2002 against Grimsby Town and broke the record for the youngest ever Derby player to pull on the famous white shirt. Aged 15 years and 267 days. That season (2002-2003), he also became the youngest player ever to play in the proper rounds of the FA Cup. Holmes was a record breaker.

It wasn't all happiness however, and Holmes faced an inevitable struggle in form which saw a loan move to Swindon Town which provided him with first team experience in the rather physical League One, the objective being to make him a regular goalscorer, toughen him up, add to his ball control and powerful striking.

He only played 15 times, scoring the one goal in a 1-1 stalemate against Doncaster Rovers.

Holmes has played internationally (for England) up to Under-20 level and signed a three year contract recently with the Rams.
