Inter-county
Holmes has been a long-standing member of the Tyrone panel, and his versatility has meant he is normally an important member of the panel although his career has often been blighted by numerous injuries. He has won honours with the county at youth and senior level, including the 1993 Ulster Minor Championship as well as four Ulster Senior Championship medals and three All-Ireland Championship medals.
As of 2008 he remains a member of the Tyrone panel for the upcoming National League campaign.
