In season 2007–08, he was part of Budapest Honvéd, where he made eight appearances playing in the Hungarian League.

In March 2009, Borel signed with Chernomorets Burgas until the end of the season. On 4 April 2009, he made his competitive debut for the team in a match against Lokomotiv Sofia. Borel quickly became part of the main team and on 28 May 2009 he received a new contract with the club until the end of 2010–11 season.[3] He left the club on 10 June 2011 after his contract expired. Borel ended his career at RB Leipzig.
