[edit] Club career
As a goalkeeper Borch has played for Tromsø I.L. for his entire career and has been in the club since 1986. Borch finally secured an undisputed first team position ahead of the 2004 season and played particularly well in the last half of the season.
The 2005 and 2006 season has seen Borch plagued with injury problems. Tromsø I.L. enlisted Lars Hirschfeld to fill in for Borch during the 2005 season, while Kenny Stamatopoulos and Sead Ramovic has played for Tromsø I.L. during the 2006 season. Borch became injury free during the 2007-season. However, Ramovic has been Tromsø I.L.'s first choice even after Borch's return to football. Borch did get one match, a 2-1 loss to Fredrikstad, that Ramovic could not play due to suspension.
[edit] International career
As a result of his great 2004 season, Borch was featured in the first national team call up in 2005. But he still has been capped only once for the Norwegian national team[1].
