On 14 June 2012, aged 27, Borda moved abroad for the first time and signed a two-year contract with Cypriot club APOEL FC. [7] He scored his first goal for his new team on 11 November, the game's only at Ethnikos Achna FC, [8] and won the First Division in his first season for the first major accolade of his career. [9]
