Jason Holt, born on 19 February 1993 (age 33), is a Scottish midfielder with St Johnstone, where he wears the number 8 shirt. A compact presence at 5ft 5in (1.64m), he has made a career in the middle of the pitch through tidiness, mobility and a fair bit of persistence.
His early years were shaped by loan football, the usual education for a young Scottish midfielder who needed senior minutes rather than polite encouragement. Those spells helped move him from prospect to first-team option, giving him the rougher edges of the game before he became established.
Holt’s most productive league season came at Rangers in 2015-16, when he scored 10 goals in 32 appearances. For a central midfielder, that was a useful return, and it remains the standout attacking season of his career.
Now at St Johnstone, Holt is primarily used as a central defensive midfielder. In 2025-26, he has made one League Cup appearance for the club. His current market value is around £43,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Holt’s career has been that of a solid Scottish professional: developed through early loans, productive at Rangers, and still part of the senior game with St Johnstone.
