Anders Sølvsten Holvad (born 24 June 1990) is a Danish professional footballer who plays for Aarhus Fremad as a forward.
A prospect from the Randers FC academy, Holvad appeared for reserve team Randers Freja in the third-tier 2nd Division before moving back to his childhood club, Vivild IF competing in the fifth-tier Jutland Series in March 2010.[2] After the club suffered relegation to the seventh-tier Series 1, he had a successful trial with Viborg FF,[3] but only played there for six months, making one appearance in the second-tier 1st Division. He then played for Kjellerup IF before moving to Brabrand IF in January 2014.[4]
On 3 February 2016, Holvad signed a six-month contract with Hobro competing in the Danish Superliga. The move came to fruition after a strong first half to the season for Brabrand, where he was top goalscorer for the team in the third-tier 2nd Division.[5] He signed a one-year contract extension with the club in July 2016, a full-time professional deal for the first time in his career, after Hobro had suffered relegation to the second-tier 1st Division.[6] Holvad started the 2016–17 season in strong fashion, resulting in six goals in 11 appearances.[7] He was, however, benched towards to end of the season despite being the team's top goalscorer.[8] He finished the season with 30 league appearances in which he scored nine goals, as Hobro reached promotion to the Superliga.[9] In total, he made 42 appearances for Hobro with 10 goals to his name.[10]
On 13 June 2017, Holvad signed a two-year contract with 1st Division club FC Fredericia as a free agent.[11] He immediately established himself as a starter and key player for the club, playing mostly as a winger, after the club had initially brought him in as a forward.[12]
On 23 November 2018, Holvad signed a five-year contract extension, keeping him in Fredericia until 2023.[13] [14]
On 10 June 2022 Faroese club KÍ Klaksvík confirmed that Holvad had joined the club on a deal until the end of 2023.[15]
He made his European debut on 6 July 2022, coming on as a late substitute for Claes Kronberg in a 3–0 loss in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers to Bodø/Glimt.[16]
On 28 January 2023, Holvad returned to Denmark, signing a deal until June 2024 with his former club, FC Fredericia.[17] He left the club by mutual agreement on 31 August 2023.
On 31 August 2023, Holvad moved to Aarhus Fremad.[18] In June 2024, Holvad became an assistant coach at the club, also continuing to play.[19]
