The 21-year-old center back is under contract through 2029-30 with an option for 2030-31. He will occupy U22 Initiative and international roster slots.

'Diego is a young and exciting prospect at center back who has experienced a quick rise from Serie B in Brazil to showing excellent performances in Hungary,' SKC president of soccer operations and general manager David Lee said. 'Diego has many attributes that made him a coveted target for a number of teams around the world with his size, athleticism and quality on the ball.'Borges made seven appearances in the Hungarian top flight.
