Career



College and amateur


On 22 May 2013, it was announced that Holness committed to the University of North Carolina. In his first season with the Tar Heels, he made 20 appearances and finished the year with two goals and three assists. One of his two goals came on 21 November in a 1-0 win over the University of South Florida in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.[2]

Holness also spent time with Portland Timbers U23s in the USL Premier Development League.[3]


Club career



Real Salt Lake

Holness was drafted in the first round of the 2016 MLS SuperDraft (5th overall) by Real Salt Lake.[4]


Bethlehem Steel

In January 2018, Holness signed for Bethlehem Steel FC of the USL.[5] Bethlehem Steel released Holness at the end of the 2018 season.[6]


Darlington

Holness signed for English National League North (sixth-tier) club Darlington on his 25th birthday.[7] He started in their next match, a 2–1 win away to Nuneaton Borough; he was involved in the first goal but was sent off late in the match for a second yellow card.[8]

On 9 November 2019, Holness scored Darlington's first goal as they held League Two side Walsall to a 2–2 draw in the first round of the FA Cup.[9] He also scored the winner as Darlington beat National League team Solihull Moors 1–0 in the FA Trophy first round replay.[10] At the end of the curtailed season he was offered terms for a further season but did not accept, and left the club having made 34 National League North appearances.[11][12] Holness rejoined Darlington on 16 October 2020 on non-contract terms,[13] and played in 11 matches, 7 in cup competitions and 4 in the National League North, whose season was again ended early because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[12][14]
