Jonah Holmes (born July 24, 1992, in , England) is an English rugby union winger who currently plays for Leicester Tigers.
Holmes played junior rugby for London Scottish until the age of 16 but then left to only play with his school St Benedict's School, Ealing where he was considered a star in the making.
Holmes initially played scrum half but during a loan spell with Henley Hawks he switched to the back three playing wing and full back. At the suggestion of Lyn Jones, who was his coach during a brief spell at London Welsh, he concentrated solely on the back three.
In 2013 Holmes joined Leeds Carnegie, since renamed Yorkshire Carnegie, on loan from London Wasps. Holmes scored six tries in his first six games for the Yorkshire side. Holmes made the move permanent in the summer, as part of a swap deal with Glyn Hughes. On 23 December 2013, after scoring 22 tries in 34 games, signed a new long term deal with Yorkshire.
On 1 June 2017 it was announced that Holmes would join Leicester Tigers for the 2017–18 season.
Holmes is the nephew of Olympic-gold medal winning rower Andy Holmes and is a graduate in Biomedical sciences from Birkbeck, University of London.
