Kevin Holt

Kevin Holt of Ayr United was born in Dumfries, Scotland on 25 January 1993 (age 33).

Kevin Holt (born 25 January 1993, age 33) is a Scottish central defender with Ayr United, where he wears the number 5 shirt. His market value is around £213,000, according to Transfermarkt.

Holt has built his senior career as a reliable first-team defender rather than a headline act. His most productive league season came at Dundee United in 2023-24, when he scored six goals in 31 appearances – a useful return from the back line and a fair indication of his set-piece value.
