Older brother of former HSBC Waratahs scrum half Josh Holmes, Luke made his Super Rugby debut in 2006. A member of the HSBC Waratahs Academy in 2003/4, Luke’s inclusion in the 2013 Extended Player Squad sees him return home to NSW for the first time in seven years. Strong in the set piece and with the mobility of a back rower, Luke brings with him a reputation for physicality across the park. A former Australian Under-16s and Under-21s player and Australian Schoolboys captain, Luke has played alongside a number of his new NSW teammates, including Drew Mitchell, Tatafu Polota-Nau and Benn Robinson. As a first grader at Warringah, Luke was picked up by the Western Force in their inaugural year in 2005. After spending four seasons in Perth, he spent a year training with the Waratahs before moving to the newly-formed Melbourne Rebels outfit, whom he represented in their first two seasons.
