Club career

Early career

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.

Brighton & Hove Albion

In June 2012, Holla signed with ADO Den Haag before transferring to English club Brighton & Hove Albion during August 2014.[3] 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.

Melbourne Victory

In July 2018, Holla joined Australian club Melbourne Victory on a free transfer, signing a one-year contract, hoping to stay for longer.[4] However, it was reported that the deal had fallen through and that the Dutchman admitted to abandoning contract negotiations.[5]

F.C. Den Bosch

In late August 2018, after spells with FC Twente and PEC Zwolle, he joined F.C. Den Bosch. He was released by Den Bosch on 1 July 2019.
