Jason Holt, born 19 February 1993 (age 33), is a Scottish midfielder with St Johnstone, where he wears the No 8 shirt. A compact 5ft 5in (1.64m), he has spent his career doing a lot of the less glamorous midfield work, usually from central or deeper areas.
Holt came through at Hearts and had the sort of early loan football that tends to sharpen young midfielders quickly. Those spells gave him senior minutes before he settled into first-team football, and he moved on from Tynecastle with a useful grounding rather than just a youth-team reputation.
His most productive league season came at Rangers in 2015-16, when he scored 10 goals in 32 appearances. That was the high point of his attacking output, and a reminder that, for all his later use in deeper roles, he had enough timing and energy to arrive in the box when the side was set up for it.
After Rangers, Holt’s career took in further spells in England and Scotland before he became part of St Johnstone’s midfield. In 2026-27, he has made seven league appearances for the Perth club. His current market value is around £43,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Holt’s career has been a steady one: developed at Hearts, most visible at Rangers, and latterly centred on St Johnstone. He has been a first-team footballer for long enough to know the job, without needing much dressing up.
