Holzman returns

Boro welcome Louie back to the Saunders Transport Community Stadium to help bolster the team heading into a hectic period of the season.

Holzman is a tough-tackling centre-back who emerged from Reading’s Academy having captained their Under 23 side.

After making his Royals First Team debut in The Emirates FA Cup at the age of 18, he earned a professional contract at the Select Car Leasing Stadium in June 2022.

Louie made another appearance for his hometown Club in the Carabao Cup in August 2022, before spending time on loan in Ireland with Bohemians later that season.

He departed Reading following the expiration of his contract at the end of the 2024/25 season, but was quickly snapped up by Eastleigh in July 2025.

With some National League experience under his belt, Holzman headed to Farnborough on loan last October and went on to make 15 appearances in yellow and blue.

Louie will resume wearing shirt number 30.
