Rob Holmes is a goalkeeper who joined Rovers in October 2009, when he joined from Kidderminster Harriers as an 18 year old. While with the Kidderminster youth team he won a league and cups treble during the 2008–09 season, and Rovers saw enough promise in Holmes to award him his first professional contract, which lasted until the end of the 2009-10 season. He was released on expiry of that deal however, without having made any first team appearances.
