Holmes Junior marked a historic milestone for Girona FC on Sunday, entering the club's record books as the fourth youngest debutant in the team's storied history. Born on August 8, 2009, the defender made his first-team debut at just 17 years and 8 days old during the league opener against CD Leganés at Montilivi. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, solidifying Holmes Junior's place among football's elite young talents.
Rounding out the TOP 4 of the youngest debutants in Girona FC history are Arseni Comas, who made his debut at 16 years, 4 months, and 8 days old, Narcís Julià at 16 years, 5 months, and 25 days, and Enric García at 16 years, 11 months, and 9 days. Holmes Junior now joins this elite group, outpacing players like Roberto Fresnedoso, Xavier Julià, and Joel Roca.
Notably, Joel Roca holds the record for the youngest debutant in Girona FC's First Division history. Debuting at 17 years, 2 months, and 19 days, Roca played his first top-tier match on August 26, 2022, against Celta at Montilivi, a victory secured for the Galician team with a scoreline of 0-1.
