Taite Sean Holtam (born 14 February 2005) is an English footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL League Two club Gillingham.
Career
In May 2024, Holtam signed a first professional contract with Gillingham.[3] During the 2024–25 season, he spent time in the Isthmian League South East Division on loan with Herne Bay, Phoenix Sports and Ashford United.[4][5]
On 12 April 2025, with both of Gillingham's senior goalkeepers unavailable, Holtam made his senior debut for Gillingham, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 victory over Milton Keynes Dons.[6][7] Having impressed on his debut, manager Gareth Ainsworth retained the faith in the young goalkeeper, as opposed to recalling Jake Turner[8] with Holtam featuring against Cheltenham Town.[9]
