Arghus Soares Bordignon (born 19 January 1988 in Alegrete) is a Brazilian football centre back who plays for Panetolikos.


Club career

After a series of short spells with various Brazilian and European clubs,[1] Arghus signed a three-year contract with Slovenian club Maribor in 2011.[2] Between December 2011 and May 2012 Arghus was sidelined due to injury and returned on the football pitch in late May 2012 as a substitute in a match against Mura 05, scoring a goal only couple of minutes later.[3]

On 4 August 2016, he signed for Excelsior on a one-year loan deal.[4]

On 26 January 2018, Panaitolikos officially announced their deal with experienced central defender Arghus Soares Bordignon, who was released from Sporting Clube de Braga for an undisclosed fee. The 30-year-old Brazilian signed contract until the summer of 2019 and is expected to replace former international central defender Vangelis Moras in the current squad of manager Traianos Dellas' team.

Personal life

Unlike many Brazilian footballers, who lived and played football on the streets, Arghus had a better life as a child, living in a small and quiet town.[3] His mother was a Portuguese language professor and his father a policeman.[3] He also has a younger brother who is involved in football.[3] Arghus is multilingual, speaking three languages fluently: Portuguese, Spanish and Italian.[2] He is married to a longtime girlfriend and childhood friend, Amanda.[3] Arghus holds a dual citizenship of Brazil and Italy.[2]
