New home

Their boss, Spencer Day, has said: “That’s been about three weeks hard work! Literally the paperwork went in ten minutes before the deadline today.

“We’ve profited from the basis that he’s going part-time. Obviously we’re very excited. 

“We’ve shown now by the three or four exciting signings that we’ve made – to compliment the vast majority of last year – that we can be a very exciting side and we’re only going to get better.”

Holmes is an experienced player in the Football League and is a shrewd addition for Farnborough.

Did well at the Valley

He was a hit during his time at Charlton after signing for them in in 2016.

The wide man impressed with the Addicks, scoring 19 goals in 64 games over a season-and-a-half in League One to earn himself a Championship move.
