Borja González Tomás (born 25 August 1992), known simply as Borja and sometimes nicknamed Bastón, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Swansea City.
Formed at Atlético Madrid, he spent much of his tenure out on loan, including successful spells at Deportivo and Zaragoza in Segunda División.
Borja earned 27 caps and scored 18 goals for Spain at youth level, finishing as top scorer at the 2009 U-17 World Cup and winning the European Under-19 Championship two years later.
Born in Madrid, Borja arrived in his hometown club Atlético Madrid's youth system at the age of four. He began as a goalkeeper, the position which his father played professionally, but he converted him to a forward so that he could enjoy the game more. He made his senior debuts in the 2009–10 season, scoring 12 goals for the reserve team in the third division.
On 15 May 2010, in the campaign's last round, Borja made his first-team and La Liga debut, coming on as a substitute for Tiago in the 58th minute of the game against Getafe CF. Twenty minutes later, however, he was stretchered off with a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury on his left knee, in an eventual 0–3 home loss.
