Born in Almere, Flevoland, Holla started his career at FC Groningen. He played on loan to FC Zwolle during the first half of the 2007–08 season, but returned to parent club Groningen to replace Rasmus Lindgren, who had moved to Ajax. During the second half of the 2011–12 season, he was sent on loan again, this time to VVV-Venlo.
In June 2012, Holla signed with ADO Den Haag before transferring to English club Brighton & Hove Albion during August 2014.[2] He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–2 loss against Brentford. His contract with Brighton & Hove Albion was terminated by mutual consent on 25 August 2016.
In July 2018, Holla joined Australian club Melbourne Victory on a free transfer, signing a one-year contract, hoping to stay for longer.[3] However, it was reported that the deal had fallen through and that the Dutchman admitted to abandoning contract negotiations.[4]
In late August 2018, after spells with Twente and PEC Zwolle, he joined Den Bosch. He was released by Den Bosch on 1 July 2019.
Holla joined Maltese club Sliema Wanderers in September 2020. He extended his contract with the Wanderers for the 2021–22 season on 18 August 2021.[5]
