Odin Thiago Holm was born in Trondheim on 18 January 2003 (age 23) and came through in Norway as a central midfielder with Valerenga. That remains the club most closely tied to his development, rather than a footnote before the move abroad.
Across six seasons with Valerenga, Holm made 74 league appearances and scored six league goals. His most productive campaign came in 2021, when he scored three times in 19 league matches, a decent return for a young midfielder still working out the harder parts of senior football.
Celtic signed him from Valerenga in July 2023 for around £2.5m. His time in Glasgow has not yet become a settled run in the side, but he was part of the Celtic squad that won the Premiership, League Cup and Scottish Cup. He was linked with a Celtic exit in January 2025.
Holm is now back at Valerenga on loan from Celtic, wearing squad number 15. In 2026, he has made six Eliteserien appearances without scoring, with his form described as solid and consistent. His current market value is around £850,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His career so far is still that of a developing midfielder: shaped mainly at Valerenga, given a Celtic move that brought medals but limited certainty, and now continuing in Norway with games to be played and progress still to prove.
