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.\n\nRounding 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.
