Where is Matt Holland now?
One of Charlton Athletic’s longest-serving Premier League players, Matt Holland retired from playing after being released by the club in 2009.
A former West Ham academy graduate, he finished his 17-year professional career having made 650 first-team appearances for four different teams including spells at Farnborough Town and AFC Bournemouth. He was very rarely injured during his playing career and played 223 consecutive games during his time at Ipswich Town.
Highly-regarded at each of the teams he played for, he won Player of the Year awards at Bournemouth and Charlton and won the award twice during his time at Ipswich where he was also inducted into the club’s Hall of Fame.
Although born in England he qualified to play for the Republic of Ireland national side through his grandmother and won 49 caps as well as representing them at the 2002 FIFA World Cup finals where he scored in the opening game against Cameroon.
Upon retiring from playing Holland moved straight into a career within the media as a commentator, presenter and pundit in both television and radio. He appears frequently on the BBC, Sky Sports, RTE, Setanta Sport and talkSPORT and has also joined Premier League broadcaster Amazon Prime as a pundit.
In July 2023 he joined Ipswich Town’s new inhouse television channel TownTV as a pitchside reporter and commentator.
Away from football, Holland is a patron for Inspire Suffolk which is a charity that aims to inspire young people through sport, education & good health.
