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. 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. He made his debut a day later in a goalless draw against Rochester Rhinos.
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.

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