Career

edit

Academy and amateur

edit

Bordoy joined the Riverhounds academy in 2014.[1][2] Bordoy was pulled away by the coach of the academy team and was notified that he would play for the senior team.[3]

After the end of the season with the Riverhounds, Bordoy returned to youth soccer, joining the Memphis Tigers.[4] After his first couple of games, he was voted "Rookie of the Week," after getting three assists in two games.[5] In his first season, he played 19 games, starting 11 of them.[6]

Professional

edit

Pittsburgh Riverhounds

edit

Bordoy made his debut for the Riverhounds senior team as a late substitution in the 2-0 win over the Maryland Bobcats in the U.S. Open Cup.[7] Bordoy took a shot which was saved by the keeper, though it rebounded to Burke Fahling who was able to give the Hounds a 2-0 lead.[8] Following his appearance in the Open Cup, Bordoy appeared on the bench with the Hounds for a while after.[9] He then returned to the academy, though he was still an option for Bob Lilley to choose.[10][11]

Steel City FC

edit

Staying in Pittsburgh, Bordoy joined Steel City FC for the Summer 2024 season.[12] He scored an important equalizer against Niagara 1812 FC.[13] He scored once again in the same game as they were able to get a 5-1 win in the second half.[14] He scored again against the Southern Indiana Guardians a few weeks later.[15]
