manager Kevin Wilkin explained that while preferred attackers Louis Moult and Connor Jennings had been in good form, the club had not found themselves "in too many situations where I [Wilkin] have been comfortable to throw him on. He prefers to play facing the opposition goal whereas Louis and Connor play with their back to the opposition. They are the ones that want to come in and play a little bit shorter, play in pockets". Despite this, Holman featured for the club's reserve side, scoring in a 2–1 victory at Morecambe. Wilkin was also undecided whether to extend Holman's loan spell or not. Holman returned to Colchester at the end of his loan spell as expected with only 31 minutes of football under his belt from his time with Wrexham.

Aldershot Town loan Following the disappointment of his Wrexham loan, Holman was sent back out on loan to another Conference club, Aldershot Town, on 24 October 2014.

He made his debut for the club on 25 October, starting in their 2–0 win over Torquay United in the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup. Holman stabbed home a goal on his league debut for the club on 1 November in Aldershot's 2–1 home defeat to Gateshead, before netting his second goal in only his third appearance as he secured a 1–0 victory for his side against Nuneaton on 15 November. Following his positive start to his time with Aldershot, Holman's loan spell was extended on 19 November with the deal due to run until 5 January 2015. He scored his third Conference goal of the season against his previous employers Wrexham on 29 November, opening the scoring with a shot outside of the box after cutting in from the right-hand side. However, he was withdrawn at half-time due to an injury. He ended his loan spell with three goals in 16 appearances in all competitions for Aldershot. Dover Athletic loan Holman joined his third loan club of the season on 2 February 2015, signing with Dover Athletic until the end of the season. He made his debut for Dover on 14 February, where he was introduced as a 72nd-minute substitute for Nicky Deverdics. He scored five minutes
