Career

  • Borjan tried out for Boca Juniors in 2005 but did not sign a contract with the club. In 2006, he joined Side Nacional de Ftbol in Montevideo, Uruguay, and played for its junior squad, before going on trial with Argentine club Club Atlético River Plate in July 2007. His last South American appearance came with Quilmes, where he played from January 2008 to the completion of the 2007-08 Primera B Nacional season.
  • Borjan returned to Serbia in January 2009 and signed with FK Rad Belgrade of the Serbian Super League. He struggled to make the squad at first, and he was signed as a third-row goalkeeper. However, owing to issues with the starting goalkeeper’s work permits and a second-row injury, Borjan quickly became the club’s sole available goalkeeper.
  • On August 16, 2009, he made his debut in a 3-2 win against FK Smederevo. He was the starting goalkeeper by the autumn of 2010, riding a nine-match winning run. FK Rad finished fourth in the league under him, earning a spot in the 2011-12 UEFA Europa League qualifying stages.
  • Borjan was signed by Turkish club Sivasspor after appearing in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup and made his debut on September 11, 2011, in a 2-1 defeat against Karabükspor.
  • Borjan was loaned out to Romanian club SC Vaslui in a deal that would keep him in Romania until the end of the season, with the option to acquire the player for an unknown transfer cost due to a lack of playing time in Turkey.
  • Borjan joined the club as the starting goalkeeper and kept seven clean sheets in 16 starts, helping Vaslui qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
  • Borjan returned to the starting lineup after a successful season in Romania in the third match of the 2012-13 season, a 0-0 draw against Fenerbahçe on September 2, 2012. Borjan’s contract with Sivasspor was terminated in February 2014, after a decline in playing time under new manager Roberto Carlos.
  • Following the termination, speculation developed that an agreement had been negotiated for Borjan to join Napoli in June, after the Turkish Football Association vetoed a transfer in January.
  • Borjan accepted an offer from Bulgarian club PFC Ludogorets Razgrad on September 12, 2014, after rumours that he had joined as a free agent for Bosnian Premier League team Sarajevo. Borjan made his club debut in a 2-1 Champions League away loss to Liverpool FC four days after joining, and the team had already qualified for the 2014-15 UEFA Champions League group stage.
  • That was the first time a Canadian international has appeared in a group stage match since Lars Hirschfeld for Rosenborg BK in 2007. Borjan was dismissed soon after, with Razgrad having signed first-choice goalkeeper Vladislav Stoyanov until the summer of 2015.
  • Borjan was called up to the Canadian national team in 2010 after impressing with FK Rad. On February 3, 2011, he was called up to the Canadian senior squad and made his debut a week later in an exhibition match against Greece.
  • Borjan was called up to the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup squad that summer, making his debut in a 1-0 win against Guadeloupe at Raymond James Stadium on June 11, 2011. He also played his first national team game at home, at BMO Field, on June 1, 2011, in a 2-2 tie against Ecuador.
  • Borjan began a 0:0 draw at home against Honduras in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying match on June 12, 2012, due to the suspension of starting goalkeeper Lars Hirschfeld.
  • Milan Borjan has been Canada’s main goalkeeper since the end of 2012, making the final rosters for the CONCACAF Gold Cups in 2013, 2017, and 2019. On June 11, 2015, in a 2018 World Cup qualifying match, he received his first red card for Canada, for touching the ball outside the area after a mistake by Julián de Guzmán.
