Contents
Early life
Borges began playing youth soccer with Vaughan SC, later moving on to Kleinburg-Nobleton SC followed by West Toronto SC.[1] In 2015, he joined the Toronto FC Academy.[2]
Playing career
Semi-professional and U21
In 2015, he played in League1 Ontario with Toronto FC III. He scored his first goal on July 4 against ANB Futbol.[3] Over the course of the season, he scored six goals.[4]
From early 2016 until summer 2018, Borges was a member of the youth academy of Dutch Eredivisie club SC Heerenveen where he played for the U21 team.[5][6][2]
After leaving Heerenveen in summer 2018, Borges returned to Canada and signed with League1 Ontario side Sigma FC in September of that year.[7] He scored one goal in seven league appearances for Sigma and scored another in three playoff appearances.[7]
Professional
On 10 January 2019, Borges signed his first professional contract with Canadian Premier League side Forge FC. He made his debut in the inaugural CPL match against York9 FC on 27 April 2019.[8] He scored the winning goal in the first leg of the CPL Finals, before being sent off. Forge appealed the red card to the Canadian Soccer Association and it was rescinded, allowing Borges to play in the second leg, which also ended in a 1–0 victory.[9] Borges was a standout in the CPL's inaugural season, winning the Golden Boot, with 13 goals,[10] and sharing in a six-way tie for most assists, with five.[11] In November 2019, Borges was announced as both the CPL Player of the Year and best Canadian U-21 player.[12]
On 22 January 2020, Borges was transferred to Belgian First Division B side Oud-Heverlee Leuven for an undisclosed fee, signing a contract until summer 2022.[13][14] He made his debut on February 1 against Roeselare.[15]
On 5 March 2021, after receiving limited playing time for OH Leuven, Borges was loaned back to Forge FC for the 2021 Canadian Premier League season.[16] His loan was later extended in February 2022.[17][18] Upon the expiry of his contract with Leuven and thus his Forge loan, he remained with Forge for the remainder of the season.[19]
International career
Youth
Borges received his first Canadian youth national team call-up in August 2014 for an under-17 friendly tournament in Mexico.[2] He participated in several other under-17 camps in the fall and winter of 2014–15 and was subsequently called up for the 2015 CONCACAF U-17 Championship.[2] Borges made six appearances in the tournament and scored Canada's lone goal in a 1–1 draw against Mexico.[2]
Beginning in September 2015, Borges participated in several under-20 team camps in the lead-up to the 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship.[2] At that tournament, he made three appearances for Canada and assisted on a goal in a 2–0 win over Antigua and Barbuda.[2]
In January 2018, Borges was called up for a Canadian under-23 camp in the United States.[2] In February 2020, Borges was named to the Canadian U-23 provisional roster for the 2020 CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying Championship.[20]
Senior
In January 2020, Borges was called up to the Canadian senior team ahead of friendlies against Barbados and Iceland.[21] He made his debut as a substitute on 10 January against Barbados.[2]
