Career

Youth, college and amateur

Borges spent his entire youth career with the New York Red Bulls Academy. On February 4, 2015, it was announced that Borges signed a letter of intent to play college soccer at the University of Michigan.[1][2] A month later, he signed an academy level contract with USL club New York Red Bulls II, which allowed him to play for the club without forfeiting his college eligibility.[3] He made his debut a day later in a goalless draw against Rochester Rhinos.[4]

In his freshman year with the Wolverines, Borges made only 11 appearances, starting in five of them. He missed a portion of the season due to the fact he was on U.S. U-20 national team duty.[5]

He also played in the Premier Development League for New York Red Bulls U-23.[6]

He was drafted by the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft.

International

Borges has represented the United States in the under-18 and under-20 level.[5]
