Career

Youth

Born in Knin, SR Croatia still in Yugoslavia, he emigrated with his family to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada where his family still resides. In 2005 he moved to South America, where he began playing professionally, first in Uruguay with Club Nacional de Football, and afterwords in Argentina with Club Atlético River Plate and Quilmes Atlético Club.

Professional

In January 2009 he returned to Serbia and signed with SuperLiga club FK Rad from Belgrade. Borjan had trouble breaking into the first team since he was the 3rd string keeper from the first day signing with the team. However due to the starters trouble with work permits and the second strings injury it left Milan has the only available keeper on the roster. Milan made his debut on August 16, 2009 in a 3-2 victory over FK Smederevo. Milan continued to impress at every given opportunity and by Fall of 2010 Milan had taken hold of the starting spot with an unbeaten streak of nine games.[1] Borjan proved to be one of the top keepers in Serbian SuperLiga taking FK Rad to fourth in the league with 52 points gaining them a birth in the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League Qualifying Round.[2]

Following the 2011 Gold Cup and much speculation Borjan completed a move to Sivasspor, for an undisclosed fee.[3] Borjan made his debut in Turkey on September 11 in a 2-1 loss against Karabükspor.[4]

International

In November 2010, Milan said he had decided to represent Canada internationally, even with interest from Serbia.[5] On February 3, 2011 Borjan was called up to the Canadian Senior team for their friendly against Greece on February 9.[6] Milan made his debut for Canada in the friendly against Greece played in Larissa, the game ended in a 1-0 loss. Borjan was one of three Canadian players to make their international senior debut against Greece, Tosaint Ricketts and David Edgar were the other two.[7] That summer Milan was called up to the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup roster becoming his first ever international tournament participation. Borjan played his first national team game on home soil at BMO Field on June 1, 2011 during a friendly against Ecuador that ended as a 2-2 draw. Milan made his Gold Cup debut on June 11 in a 1-0 victory over Guadeloupe at Raymond James Stadium.[8]
