Holtmann joined VfL Bochum on a three-year contract in August 2020.[8] In January 2022, Holtmann was awarded the 2021 German Goal of the Year for a solo effort he made during a 2–0 home win against 1. FSV Mainz 05.[9]

On 7 October 2015, Holtmann made his debut for the German national U-20 team in a match against Turkey.[12]

Philippines[]

In March 2021, during an interview, Holtmann said that he is applying for dual citizenship so he would be able to play for the Philippines in their remaining matches in the second round of 2022 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers that will be held in China.[13] Two months later in May, he was called up by the Philippines for 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against China, Guam and the Maldives.[14] However, Holtmann was unable to make his Philippines debut in the said tournaments due to "a lack of documents."[15]

Holtmann was included in the 25-man squad of the Philippines for 2022 FAS Tri-Nations Series.[16]
