Career

Early career

A prospect from the Randers FC academy, Holvad appeared for reserve team Randers Freja in the third-tier 2nd Division before moving back to his childhood club, Vivild IF competing in the fifth-tier Jutland Series in March 2010.[2] After the club suffered relegation to the seventh-tier Series 1, he had a successful trial with Viborg FF,[3] but only played there for six months, making one appearance in the second-tier 1st Division. He then played for Kjellerup IF before moving to Brabrand IF in January 2014.[4]

Hobro

On 3 February 2016, Holvad signed a six-month contract with Hobro competing in the Danish Superliga. The move came to fruition after a strong first half to the season for Brabrand, where he was top goalscorer for the team in the third-tier 2nd Division.[5] He signed a one-year contract extension with the club in July 2016, a full-time professional deal for the first time in his career, after Hobro had suffered relegation to the second-tier 1st Division.[6] Holvad started the 2016–17 season in strong fashion, resulting in six goals in 11 appearances.[7] He was, however, benched towards to end of the season despite being the team's top goalscorer.[8] He finished the season with 30 league appearances in which he scored nine goals, as Hobro reached promotion to the Superliga.[1][9] In total, he made 42 appearances for Hobro with 10 goals to his name.[10]

Fredericia

On 13 June 2017, Holvad signed a two-year contract with 1st Division club FC Fredericia as a free agent.[11][10] He immediately established himself as a starter and key player for the club, playing mostly as a winger, after the club had initially brought him in as a forward.[12]

On 23 November 2018, Holvad signed a five-year contract extension, keeping him in Fredericia until 2023.[13][14]
