Where Is They Now? Nat Borchers

Part 1 of a new series here at RapidsBlog2007!TheHomeOfMadeUpInformationForYourColoradoRapids! (sorry, been watching too much local tv news lately) is a catch up segment, where we (aka, I) try to locate ex-Rapids players who are no longer in MLS and give updates as to their current whereabouts and whatfors. Today, we’ll make Nat Borchers’s fan happy by letting everyone know he is alive and well and playing in Norway for last-place Odd Grenland.

While I wasn’t a Rapids follower when Borchers was around, news reports from 2003-2006 claim he was one of the better defenders on the team, yet he was transferred to the Norwegian club last year (and Odd turn of events, considering his age and skills). Nat started for Odd Grenland yesterday in a 2-1 win over ‘Start’, meaning his current team is now only 2 points away from getting out of the relegation zone.

From the team’s official match recap:

ODD scorer ikke mange mål i år, men de som scores er stort sett perler! I kveld ble det hentet fram to nye, og timingen kunne ikke vært bedre. Seier og tre poeng i kveld var utrolig viktig for et presset ODD lag, og allerede om tre dager på Skagerak Arena skal vi hente enda 3 poeng fra Sandefjord.

Now THAT is excitement!
