. For this achievement he was named on the PFA Team of the Year
. This proved to be his final season with the club, as his exploits led to much interest from higher level clubs.

in the summer of 1992 for £650,000, making an immediate impact in his first season at the Dons with 16 goals, forming a solid partnership with John Fashanu
. He quickly established himself as one of the Premiership's top finishers in his first few seasons at the club. During his time at Wimbledon, club chairman Sam Hammam
promised to buy Holdsworth a Ferrari
sports car and even a camel
if he managed to score 20 goals in a season. However, Holdsworth never quite managed to reach that target.

he struggled to find his consistency and he signed for Bolton Wanderers
in October 1997 for £3.5million, which was a record signing for Bolton at that time. He made 97 league appearances and scored 39 times for the Trotters.
After Bolton he signed for Coventry City
, having previously been on loan at the club. At Coventry he failed to score in the league, but scored once in the FA Cup against Cardiff City
.
