BIOGRAPHY
A key member of Colorado Rapids's squad, R. Holding has been an important figure in the MLS this season. A native of Stalybridge in England, he converted his natural talent into a professional career through hard work and dedication. Operating as a defender, his frame of 189 cm and 81 kg gives him a physical edge in aerial and physical duels. His ability to read trajectories and anticipate opposition movement is one of his key defensive strengths. In 2023, he moved to Crystal Palace from Arsenal, for € 1.5M, underlining his value on the transfer market. His trophy cabinet includes MLS All-Star, Emirates Cup, Community Shield among his major honours, evidence of a career built on collective success. The 2025/2026 season provides him with the opportunity to consolidate his status within Colorado Rapids's first team. R. Holding continues to write his story in professional football, one performance at a time.
