Douglas Borel

Douglas do Espírito Santos Torres (born 30 March 2002), commonly known as Douglas Borel, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Bahia.

Career
Born in Camaçari, Bahia, Borel joined the youth sides of EC Bahia in 2014, aged 12. He made his first team debut at the age of 16 on 23 January 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Nino Paraíba in a 7–1 Campeonato Baiano home routing of Juazeirense.

After one further match, Borel returned to the under-20s, and renewed his contract until 2024 on 8 July 2021. He made his Série A debut on 24 October of that year, replacing Raí Nascimento in a 3–0 home win over Chapecoense; both sides finished the season in the relegation zone.

Definitely promoted to the main squad for the 2022 campaign, Borel scored his first senior goal on 15 April 2022, netting the winner in a 1–0 Série B away success over Náutico; he was later sent off in that match. On 3 April 2023, becoming a third-choice behind new signing Cicinho and fellow youth graduate André Dhominique, he was loaned to Chape for the remainder of the year.

On 21 December 2023, Borel was loaned to Portuguesa for the 2024 Campeonato Paulista.
