Neto Borges, born on 13 September 1996 (age 30), is a Brazilian left-back with Middlesbrough. He is an established professional rather than a name requiring heavy decoration, and his career has been built on steady work down the flank rather than much noise around it.
His most productive league season came with Clermont Foot in 2022-23, when he scored three times in 33 appearances. That remains the clearest attacking return in his record, a useful reminder that full-backs can occasionally contribute without anyone needing to pretend they are wingers.
By 2026-27 he was at Middlesbrough, making eight Championship appearances, along with two in the FA Cup and three in the League Cup. Across all competitions for the club, he has made 13 appearances.
Borges’ career, as it stands, is that of a Brazilian left-back who has found regular senior football in Europe, with Clermont Foot providing his strongest league season and Middlesbrough his current platform.
