Borja Pérez

Early years and Alcorcón

Borja was born in Madrid. After a brief passage at Real Madrid's academy, he made his senior debut with neighbours CD Leganés, scoring five goals in 37 games in an eventual 2004 relegation from Segunda División; his first was on 30 November 2003, when he opened an eventual 1–3 home loss against Sporting de Gijón. Borja moved to Real Valladolid in summer 2005, but could only appear for its reserves during his spell, being loaned to Alicante CF in his second year and being subsequently released. He joined the same team permanently – still in the Segunda División B – helping to promotion in his third season. In the 2009 off-season, following Alicante's relegation, Borja stayed in the third division, joining AD Alcorcón. On 27 October, he scored twice against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey in a final 4–0 home win, taking his tally against this club to six (he had netted already four times in different editions of the tournament); Alcorcón won 4–1 on aggregate.

Kilmarnock

On 16 August 2012, it was announced that Borja had signed for Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock on a one-year deal, after spending some weeks on trial. He made his debut two days later, coming on as a substitute in a 1–2 home loss to Motherwell. Borja's first goal came from a penalty to give his team a 2–0 lead in an eventual 3–1 victory over Dundee United, also at Rugby Park.
