Club career

Borgersen started his career at hometown side Start before moving to Adeccoligaen team Bryne. After four seasons he signed for fellow second division team Odd Grenland with whom he clinched the 1998 title and promotion to the Tippeligaen. He moved to Denmark in 2001 but returned after four seasons to finally rejoin Start.

From 2009 he is a playing assistant coach of Start.[1] He retired after the 2011 season.

International career

He made his debut in an October 2001 World Cup qualifying match against Armenia. He immediately made an impact, as he scored a first goal only 3 minutes after coming on as a second-half substitute for Ronny Johnsen and a second 10 minutes from full-time. He has collected 10 caps in total,[2] playing his last international match in March 2006 against Senegal.
