Arghus Soares Bordignon (born 19 January 1988 in Alegrete) is a Brazilian football centre back who plays for Excelsior Rotterdam on loan from S.C. Braga.
Club career
After a series of short spells with various Brazilian and European clubs,[1] Arghus signed a three-year contract with Slovenian club Maribor in 2011.[2] Between December 2011 and May 2012 Arghus was sidelined due to injury and returned on the football pitch in late May 2012 as a substitute in a match against Mura 05, scoring a goal only couple of minutes later.[3]
On 4 August 2016, he signed for Excelsior on a one-year loan deal.[4]
