A composed and tactically astute presence in midfield, Borges arrives with a reputation built on consistency at the highest level of Indian football. Known for his positional intelligence, work rate, and ability to dictate tempo, the 32-year-old adds experience and control to the Blasters’ midfield unit at a crucial stage of the campaign.
Borges has been a proven performer in the Indian Super League, having achieved the coveted domestic double—winning both the ISL Shield and the ISL Cup during his career. His understanding of high-pressure environments and title-winning demands brings valuable perspective to the squad.
At the international level, Borges has represented India with distinction, earning caps for the senior national team and featuring in major international competitions. His exposure to the international game has further refined his discipline, tactical awareness, and ability to execute specific roles within structured systems.
Over the years, Borges has been trusted in multiple midfield roles—whether shielding the defence, maintaining balance in transition, or offering leadership through his game intelligence rather than overt expression. His profile aligns with a player who prioritises team structure, control, and reliability.
Abhik Chatterjee, CEO, Kerala Blasters FC said, “Rowllin has always been a player we have liked for his attributes on the pitch, but more than all those qualities, he is a proper professional who has played at the highest level for club and country. His experience and influence will definitely benefit our younger players, who can learn a lot from him.”
Rowllin expressed his intent on arrival, “It’s a privilege to join a club of this stature. I’m here to contribute, to compete every day, and to help the team this season. I’m motivated to settle in quickly and make an impact.”
