Borges, meanwhile, arrived in the summer and featured 38 times, starting on 30 occasions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Taking to Instagram following the final whistle, Borges wrote: &#8220;Grateful, I will take all the memories with me. Thank you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Burgzorg, having signed off with a goal, added: &#8220;We ended the season with a win.

EFL regulations mean neither will be eligible to feature for Boro during their forthcoming play-off campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Looking further ahead, neither player is currently anticipated to have a long-term future at the Riverside. Burgzorg has two years left on his Boro contract, yet looks almost certain to be offloaded during the summer transfer window. Borges, who departed before Kim Hellberg&#8217;s appointment, is also expected to leave, with just 12 months remaining on his deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">At one stage during his Bristol City loan spell, the club had made clear their wish to bring him back, with Borges himself indicating he was open to the prospect. However, following Gerhard Struber&#8217;s dismissal, the Robins&#8217; appetite for turning Borges&#8217; stay into a permanent arrangement is understood to have waned.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768348637_952_0_WhatsApp-Phone.jpg\" \/>Bristol City Live on Whatsapp<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Join Bristol City Live&#8217;s Whatsapp community for all the biggest Bristol City stories sent straight to your phone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\"><a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bristolpost.co.uk\/all-about\/bristol-city-fc\" rel=\"follow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_self\">Bristol City Live<\/a> is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join our community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Through the app, we\u2019ll send the Bristol City news, live match coverage, team news, transfers, fixtures, analysis and more straight to your phone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">To join our community you need to already have WhatsApp. All you need to do is <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/GflLiLYDrCg7Ru58OCa39x\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_self\">click this link and select \u2018Join Community\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bristolpost.co.uk\/\" rel=\"follow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_self\">Bristol Live<\/a> team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">We also treat community members to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners.
