Career

Holmberg started playing football at Farsta AIK . At the age of 19 he moved to Hammarby IF in 1979 in the Allsvenskan , but did not make his first division debut until the 1980 season. At the side of Björn Hedenström , Sten-Ove Ramberg , Thom Åhlund , Kenneth Ohlsson and Thomas Dennerby , he became a regular on the defensive of the Stockholm club in the following season. In previous years he had only occupied places in the middle of the table with the team, but under coach Bengt Persson , who was newly signed at the beginning of the year, they moved into the championship finals as second behind the UEFA Cup winners IFK Göteborg . There she reached after successes over Örgryte IS and IF Elfsborg the finals against leaders of the regular time. Jonnie Efraimsson and Peter Gerhardsson led the club as goalscorers to a 2-1 away win in the first leg, despite a goal by Ulf Eriksson in the second leg, after a 3-1 home defeat, the title went to the Gunder Bengtsson team from Gothenburg.

In the summer of the following year, Holmberg reached the final of the Swedish National Cup with the team . Again the opponent was IFK Göteborg, who won this title with a goal from Dan Corneliusson with a 1-0 win after extra time. However, Hammarby IF was qualified for the European Cup Winners' Cup 1983/84 . Successful in the first round against KS 17. Nëntori Tirana , the team was eliminated against the Finnish representative Valkeakosken Haka despite a goal from Holmberg after extra time. In the following years, the club could not repeat the successes and placed again regularly in the middle of the table. In the fall of 1985, Holmberg made headlines when the defensive player shone in the European Cup against 1. FC Köln as a two-time goalscorer, but overall the team was inferior to the German club and was eliminated from the competition. After the end of the 1987 season , he left the club and moved to Norway.

Holmberg's new club was Viking Stavanger in early 1988 , with whom he rose to the top class at the end of the season. The following year he moved with the team in the final of the national cup, in which they met Molde FK . After Alf Kåre Tveit had shot the club in the lead in the first half, Holmberg increased the interim 2-0 lead, but through Øystein Neerland and Petter Belsvik shortly before the final whistle, the opponent managed to equalize. In the replay, Jan Fjetland and again Alf Kåre Tveit were the goalscorers, who scored to win the title despite Geir Sperre's consolation goal for Molde FK Holmberg's club. He later returned to Sweden and ran for Vasalunds IF and Huddinge IF in the lower league area.

Together with former teammate Kenneth Ohlsson, he was responsible for the youth work of his former club Hammarby IF in the 2000s.
