He returned to Colombia in 2015, going on loan to Santa Fe, where he was part of the squad that won both the Superliga Colombiana and the Copa Sudamericana.
He eventually returned to Cortuluá in 2016, where he had his breakthrough season, emerging as the top scorer in the league during the Apertura, netting 19 goals, which propelled the team to the semi-finals.
His standout performances earned him a spot in the Copa Libertadores Best XI and the prestigious title of South American Footballer of the Year.
In December 2019, Borja signed a one-year loan deal with Atlético Junior, where he played a key role in winning the 2020 Superliga Colombiana, scoring a crucial penalty in the first leg and helping secure a 3–2 aggregate victory over América de Cali.
He achieved his first titles with the club in 2023, winning the Argentine Primera División, Supercopa Argentina, and Trofeo de Campeones.
He made his senior debut for Colombia in November 2016 during a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Chile and scored his first two goals for the national team the following year in a 4–0 friendly win over China.
On 6 July, during his first match for his new team, while playing against São Paulo in the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores, he scored twice, a feat he repeated in the second leg a week after.
