Holden was born in Billingshurst, Sussex in 1882. He began his career with Portsmouth before joining Southend United. In 1907 he moved to Home Park and was a fixture in the team at outside-left over the next two years. The club handbook described him as "fast, dashing and noted for accurate centring". In April 1909 he left Argyle to sign for Chelsea, where he made 20 appearances and scored once during his single season with the club.
In September 1910 he returned to Plymouth, immediately regaining his place on the wing and recapturing his previous good form. However, he lost his place in the side during the 1911-12 campaign and left the club at the end of the season, returning to Southend United where he ended his career.
