Career

After signing for Barbados Premier Division club Weymouth Wales, Holligan was soon called up to the Barbados national team for a friendly against Guyana. The next game - another friendly, against Saint Vincent and the Grenadines he scored his first goal in a 2–2 draw.[3] His next goal came during 2018 World Cup qualifying in a second round, second leg win over Aruba.[4] However, a prior yellow card accumulation meant he should not have been in that match at all[note 1]. As a result, Barbados' victory and advancement was overturned.
