On September 15, 2011, Bordson was signed by the Trenton Titans of the ECHL. [5] During the 2011–12 season, on December 9, 2011, Bordson was signed by the Rochester Americans of the AHL to a professional try out (PTO).

On August 12, 2014, Bordson signed a contract with the Chicago Wolves. [7]
On September 14, 2015, Bordson signed as a free agent, returning to the ECHL for the first time since 2011, in agreeing to a deal with the Adirondack Thunder for their inaugural season.

On July 26, 2018, Bordson signed a one-year contract in the neighbouring Austrian Hockey League (EBEL), with the Dornbirn Bulldogs.
