Bishops Cleeve Borrow Seagulls Defender

Pitching In Southern League Division One South club Bishops Cleeve have signed defender Jack Holmes on loan from Southern Premier Division South leaders Weston-super-Mare for the rest of the season.

The 24-year-old signed for Weston in August 2021 having only signed for Bishops Cleeve's league rivals Slimbridge a month earlier from Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division side Brimscombe & Thrupp, where he was in his second spell.

He started out at Cheltenham Town at the age of 8 and remained with the Robins until under-15 level before joining Forest Green Rovers.

But he suffered a nasty injury in an FA Youth Cup match against Hungerford Town, cracking four vertebrae in his back after a heavy fall.

Having returned to full fitness and with senior first-team experience under his belt with Brimscombe, he moved to the United States in the summer of 2017 for a new challenge in Miami at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College.

He re-signed for Brimscombe & Thrupp upon his return to England.

He spent all of the 2021/22 campaign injured and undergoing rehab and has had two separate loan spells back at Slimbridge earlier this season.
