As a 16-year-old, Holland trained with the Newcastle Knights' S. G. Ball Cup team, but decided to finish his electrical apprenticeship instead.

[4] At the end of the season, he received a call from the new coach of the Newcastle Knights' New South Wales Cup team, Matt Lantry, asking him to train with the side for the 2015 season. [2] Holland went on to play for the Knights in the New South Wales Cup, scoring 18 tries in 16 games, [5] and played at centre in their 2015 New South Wales Cup Grand Final win over the Wyong Roos on 27 September 2015.

[7] On 3 November 2015, he signed a 2-year contract with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs starting in 2016. [8]
In round 2 of the 2016 NRL season, Holland made his NRL debut for Canterbury against the Penrith Panthers. [9] [10] After the scores were locked up at 16-all in the last minute of the game from a Moses Mbye try, Holland kicked the conversion after the full-time siren to win the match. [11]
In June, Holland re-signed with Canterbury on a 3-year contract until the end of 2020. [12]
Holland made 20 appearances for Canterbury in 2018 as the club finished in 12th place on the table. At one point, the club were coming last until a late season surge including upset wins over Brisbane, New Zealand and a 38-0 victory over St George saved them from the wooden spoon. [13]
Holland played 14 games for Canterbury in the 2019 NRL season as they finished in 12th position.
