Forge FC made the biggest signing of the Canadian Premier League offseason on Friday, bringing back the league's best-ever player, Tristan Borges.
The 22-year-old midfielder returns to Hamilton on loan from OH Leuven, the Belgian club that signed him after Borges dominated the CPL’s inaugural 2019 season.
In 27 CPL games in 2019, Borges did it all. He was the first Golden Boot winner with 13 goals, and added five assists, also tied for first in that category. His 13 goals in that 2019 season still have him tied atop the league's all-time goals list with Easton Ongaro (FC Edmonton) and Akeem Garcia (HFX Wanderers).
