Early years
Adept in midfield or as a centre back, Holldack began his career in his homeland with Hennef 05, before joining Bundesliga side 1. FC Köln in 2011. He made 78 appearances and scored six goals for the club's U17 and U19 teams and helped the latter side to the Junioren Pokal in the 2012–13 season. He progressed to the club's reserve team in March 2015, remaining an unused substitute for three Regionalliga West matches. Holldack departed the Müngersdorfer Stadion at the end of the 2014–15 season.
Brentford
Holldack moved to England to sign a two-year Development Squad contract with Championship side Brentford on 1 July 2015. He performed the role of a utility player during the 2015–16 season and scored 14 goals in 31 appearances. After featuring regularly during 2016–17 pre-season, a spate of injuries saw Holldack called into the first team squad for the opening match of the season versus Huddersfield Town. He remained an unused substitute during the 2–1 defeat and made the first senior appearance of his career with a start in the following match, playing at right back in a 1–0 EFL Cup first round extra time loss to Exeter City on 9 August 2016. Despite failing to win a further first team call-up, head coach Dean Smith remarked in early January 2017 that Holldack had been "constantly" training with the first team squad. On 20 January 2017, he departed on loan until the end of the 2016–17 season.
Wuppertaler SV (loan)
On 20 January 2017, Holldack moved on loan to Regionalliga West club Wuppertaler SV until the end of the 2016–17 season. He made his debut with a start versus Fortuna Düsseldorf II on 10 February and scored the first senior goal of his career in the 5–1 victory.
International career
Holldack won two caps for Germany at U18 level, appearing in matches versus Moldova U19 and Serbia during a friendly tournament in Israel in December 2013.
