Career
Holmqvist played for Uppåkra between the ages of 6 and 13, before joining Helsingborg in January 2002. While with Helsingborg he spent loan spells at GAIS and Falkenberg. GAIS had wanted to sign Holmqvist on a permanent contract, but he elected to remain at Helsingborg as it was his boyhood club
He dropped down a division to sign for Hammarby in 2010 on the advice of his agent, in order to make more first-team appearances, taking a pay cut in the process.
The next season he dropped down a division again to sign for Lund, motivated in part due to homesickness. In 2012 he did not have a club, and instead worked at Team Sportia, a sports shop in Helsingborg.
In 2015 he was playing for Högaborg in the Swedish fourth division.
