Jan Holldack (born 11 May 1996) is a German semi-professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Regionalliga West club 1. FC Bocholt.
Holldack is a product of the 1. FC Köln academy and represented Germany at U18 level. He began his professional career with English club Brentford and entered German lower-league football upon his departure in 2017.
Club career
[edit]Early years
[edit]Adept in midfield or as a defender,[3] Holldack began his career in his homeland with Hennef 05, before joining Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln in 2011.[4] He made 78 appearances and scored six goals for the club's U17 and U19 teams between 2012 and 2015.[5] He progressed to the club's reserve team in March 2015 and was an unused substitute during three Regionalliga West matches in March 2015.[2] Holldack departed the Müngersdorfer Stadion at the end of the 2014–15 season.[6]
Brentford
[edit]Holldack moved to England to sign a two-year Development Squad contract with Championship club Brentford on 1 July 2015.[6] He performed the role of a utility player during the 2015–16 season and scored 14 goals in 31 appearances.[7] After featuring regularly during the 2016–17 pre-season,[8] a spate of injuries saw Holldack called into the first team squad for the opening match of the season versus Huddersfield Town.[2][9] He remained an unused substitute during the 2–1 defeat and made the first senior appearance of his career with a start in the following match, playing at right back in a 1–0 EFL Cup first round extra time loss to Exeter City on 9 August 2016.[10] Despite failing to win a further first team call-up,[2] head coach Dean Smith remarked in early January 2017 that Holldack had been "constantly" training with the first team squad.[11]
After a period on trial with Sportfreunde Lotte at the club's winter training camp and featuring as an unused substitute during a 3. Liga match,[12] Holldack moved on loan to Regionalliga West club Wuppertaler SV until the end of the 2016–17 season on 20 January 2017.[13] He made his debut with a start versus Fortuna Düsseldorf II on 10 February and scored the first senior goal of his career in the 5–1 victory.[2] Holldack made 13 appearances and scored three goals during his spell at the Stadion am Zoo.[2] Holldack signed a one-year contract extension with Brentford on 22 June 2017,[14] but after failing to win any further first team call ups,[2] he departed the club on 31 August 2017.[15]
KFC Uerdingen 05
[edit]On 31 August 2017, Holldack returned to Germany to join Regionalliga West club KFC Uerdingen 05 on two-year contract.[16] In what remained of the 2017–18 season, he made 26 appearances, scored two goals and celebrated promotion to the 3. Liga after victory in the Regionalliga promotion play-offs.[2][17] Holldack made 19 appearances and scored one goal during the 2018–19 season and was part of the club's Lower Rhine Cup-winning squad.[2][18] He was released in June 2019,[19] after making 45 appearances and scoring three goals for the club.[2]
Bonner SC
[edit]On 2 July 2019, Holldack joined Regionalliga West club Bonner SC on a one-year contract.[20] He made 15 appearances and scored three goals before his departure in January 2020.[2][21]
VfR Aalen
[edit]On 11 January 2020, Holldack transferred to Regionalliga Südwest club VfR Aalen on an 18-month contract.[21] He failed to win a call into a matchday squad before the Regionalliga Südwest season was ended prematurely.[22] After making three early-2020–21 season appearances,[2] Holldack had his contract terminated by mutual consent on 2 October 2020.[23]
Rot Weiss Ahlen
[edit]In October 2020, Holldack transferred to Regionalliga West club Rot Weiss Ahlen.[24] During what remained of the 2020–21 season, he made 28 appearances and scored five goals and departed the club at the end of the campaign.[25][26]
RC Grasse
[edit]On 21 July 2021, Holldack transferred to French Championnat National 2 club RC Grasse.[27] Three weeks later, personal issues saw him depart the club.[28]
Return to Rot Weiss Ahlen
[edit]In August 2021, Holldack returned to Regionalliga West club Rot Weiss Ahlen and signed a two-year contract.[28][29] He made 29 appearances and scored 9 goals during a mid-table 2021–22 season.[2][30] Holldack's desire to leave the club during the 2022 off-season saw him frozen out of the squad,[31] though he returned to the team for the opening match of the 2022–23 season.[2] He made 30 appearances and scored a career-high 13 goals during the 2022–23 season,[2] in which the club narrowly avoided relegation.[32] Holldack departed the club in May 2023 and made 84 appearances across his two spells,[33] scoring 24 goals.[2]
1. FC Bocholt
[edit]On 4 May 2023, Holldack transferred to Regionalliga West club 1. FC Bocholt and signed a two-year contract.[33] He made 33 appearances and scored three goals during a 2023–24 season in which the club finished second in the division,[2] albeit 12 points behind the automatic promotion place.[34] Holldack signed a new "long-term" contract in June 2024 and was named captain one month later.[35][36]
International career
[edit]Holldack won two caps for Germany at U18 level, appearing in matches versus Moldova U19 and Serbia U18 during a friendly tournament in Israel in December 2013.[37][38]
Personal life
[edit]During his second spell with Rot Weiss Ahlen, Holldack shared a flat with teammate Andreas Ivan.[29]
