Arghus Soares Bordignon (born 19 January 1988), known as simply Arghus, is a Brazilian football centre-back.
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 just several minutes later.[3]
On 4 August 2016, he signed for Excelsior on a one-year loan deal.[4]
On 26 January 2018, Panetolikos officially announced their deal with Arghus, who was released from Braga for an undisclosed fee. He signed a contract until the summer of 2019.[5] His first goal came on 25 February 2019, in a 1–0 home win against PAS Giannina.[6] Two weeks later, he opened the score in a 5–0 home win against Panionios.[7]
