Borja Fernández Fernández (born 14 January 1981), known simply as Borja, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Real Valladolid as a defensive midfielder.
Having started his career at Real Madrid, he amassed La Liga totals of 203 games and three goals over the course of ten seasons. He also represented in the competition Mallorca, Valladolid, Getafe and Eibar.
In 2014 Borja signed for Atlético de Kolkata, winning the first Indian Super League.
Born in Ourense, Galicia, Borja joined Real Madrid's academy in 1996 and, after impressive displays for the C and B-teams, was promoted to the main squad in 2003. He appeared in fifteen La Liga games that season – with his debut coming on 2 September 2003 in a 1–1 away draw against Villarreal CF– and eight in his second year (mostly as a late substitute).
Unable to break into the first team, Borja was loaned to RCD Mallorca for the 2005–06 campaign, where he also played sparingly. He subsequently joined Segunda División club Real Valladolid, being instrumental in the side's top flight promotion after a three-year hiatus and continuing to start regularly in the subsequent first division seasons.
