[edit] Career
Borrowdale began his career at Crystal Palace, and made his debut aged 17 in December 2002. He gave a good performance and made a regular place for himself in the first team, quickly making the transition to first-team football and becoming a regular member of the first XI. At just age 21 he made his 100th appearance for Palace, and looked to have a big future, collecting the club's "Young Player of the Year" award to cap some strong performances in the 2006-07 season. However, this would be his last at Selhurst Park. With his contract expired, he opted to join former Palace boss Iain Dowie to Coventry City, for a tribunal fee of £650k.
At Coventry his career has stuttered somewhat, with the team struggling and Dowie sacked, resulting in Borrowdale spending most of the season on the sidelines. In September 2008, he joined Colchester United on a month long emergency loan. He started his first match for Colchester on 26 September.
On 23 November 2008, he became Queens Park Rangers manager Paulo Sousa's first loan signing since taking over at Loftus Road. He signed with the club on a permanent contract on 2 January 2009.[1]
Borrowdale joined League One side Brighton & Hove Albion on loan for the remainder of the season on March 6, 2009, after an injury to first choice left-back Jim McNulty [2], making 12 appearances for the Seagulls.
[edit] International
He received his first call-up to the England U21 squad for the October 2006 play-offs against Germany, although he has yet to appear in the team. He has also represented England at U17, U18, U19 and U20 levels.
