Francisco de Borja Fernández Fernández, simply Borja (born January 14, 1981 in Ourense, Galicia), is a Spanish footballer currently at Real Valladolid, as a defensive midfielder.
[edit] Football career
Borja joined Real Madrid's academy in 1996 and, after impressive displays for the C and B teams, was promoted to the senior squad in 2003. He appeared in fifteen La Liga games that season (with his debut coming on September 2, 2003 in a 1–1 tie at Villarreal CF), and eight in his second season (mostly as a late substitute).
Unable to break into the first team, Borja was loaned to RCD Mallorca for 2005–06, where he also played sparingly. He subsequently joined Segunda División side Real Valladolid, being instrumental in the side's top flight promotion after a three-year hiatus, and continuing to start regularly in the subsequent first division campaigns.
