El Nacional

Olympiacos

His transfer to Greek league champions Olympiacos made him the first Ecuadorian player to play for a Greek team.^{[citation needed]} Borja was declared Copa Libertadores de América's joint top goalscorer two months after his transfer to Olympiacos.[4]

Mainz 05

Due to his sub-standard performances for Olympiacos in his first season, as well as the fact that he occupies a non-EU player spot at his current team's roster, Olympiacos had the desire at the end of the 2006–07 season to sell him or loan him for the upcoming season.^{[citation needed]} Due to that decision by the club, Borja was loaned out to German club Mainz 05 for the 2007–08 season.^{[citation needed]} At the end of the season, Mainz signed him permanently.^{[citation needed]} During the winter transfer window of the 2010-11 season, Borja was allowed to leave on a free transfer ahead of an expected move to Mexican club Puebla F.C.[5]

Puebla

Having limited success, especially after Mainz earned promotion to the Bundesliga, he transferred to the Mexican club Puebla.[6]

Pachuca

Loan to Chivas USA

On 14 August 2014, Borja joined Major League Soccer team Chivas USA on loan from LDU Quito.[3]

South China

On 28 December 2015, Hong Kong giants South China announced the capture of the player via Facebook.[7]

Return to El Nacional
