Nathan Elliot Holland (born 19 June 1998) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for club Forest Green Rovers. He will become a free agent on 30 June 2024.
He previously played for Everton, West Ham United and Milton Keynes Dons and had two loan spells with Oxford United.
Holland joined the academy of Premier League club Everton at the age of nine.[4] He progressed through several age groups and signed his first professional contract in January 2016.[5]
On 22 January 2017, Holland joined West Ham United, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal. He made his first team debut on 19 September 2017 in a 3–0 EFL Cup third round home win over Bolton Wanderers, coming on as a 61st-minute substitute. Holland went on to feature regularly for the club's U23 side in both Premier League 2 and the EFL Trophy, and in May 2019 signed a new three-year contract keeping him at West Ham until 2022.[6] On 4 December 2019, he made his Premier League debut as a 71st-minute substitute in a 2–0 defeat away to Wolverhampton Wanderers.[7]
On 8 January 2020, Holland joined EFL League One club Oxford United on loan for the remainder of the 2019–20 season. He scored his first senior professional goal on 4 February 2020 in a 3–2 FA Cup fourth round defeat at home to Newcastle United.[8] Holland's loan spell was cut short in March 2020 after sustaining a hamstring injury which ruled him out for the remainder of the season.[9] In July 2021, he returned to Oxford United for a second loan spell ahead of the 2021–22 season.[10] Following his return to West Ham at the conclusion of the season, Holland was one of several players released by the club.[11]
