Brett Trevor Holman (born 27 March 1984) is an Australian former professional soccer player who last played for Brisbane Roar in the A-League as an attacking midfielder.
Born in Sydney, Holman played youth football for Northern Spirit before making his senior debut for Parramatta Power.
He had previously represented Australia several times at youth level, including travelling to the 2004 Summer Olympics and the 2001 FIFA U-17 World Championship.
Holman played for Northern Spirit and Parramatta Power in Australia before moving to Dutch football club Feyenoord in 2002.
During most of the AZ Alkmaar's title-winning 2008–2009 Eredivisie season Holman struggled for starting opportunities and at the end of the campaign was rumoured to be on his way out at the club.
Under Dick Advocaat Holman has been given substantially more game time, including a number of appearances in the UEFA Europa League.
In March 2012, Holman signed a pre-contract agreement with Aston Villa, to join the club when his AZ contract expired that summer.
