Borgelin, who turns 20 next month, joined the Union Academy from Florida in 2017 and signed a professional second team contract in April 2019. He’s featured previously with the Haiti U20 team.
Haiti will look to rebound from the lopsided loss to Bahrain with another friendly on Saturday against Jordan.
