Club career Borbokis began his career at PAOK in 1986 and became an influential part of the team playing 215 Alpha Ethniki games and scoring 31 goals. The 1987–88 season was by far his best season scoring 10 goals helping PAOK finish third. That season he scored a goal in a 3–1 win against arch city rivals Aris, another goal in a 4–1 win against Panathinaikos and a double in a 6–1 win against Olympiacos (PAOK's biggest ever victory against the reds).

Borbokis also took part in the 1992 Greek Cup final in which PAOK lost to Olympiacos over two legs 3–1.
In 1994, he transferred to Edessaikos where he played one season, helping Edessaikos reach the final four in the Greek Cup. He later returned to Thessaloniki and played for Iraklis, Aris and Apollon Kalamarias.
He is the only player to have ever played for all four major clubs of Thessaloniki.
International career Borbokis earned his first cap with Greece as a 24th min substitute in a friendly against Northern Ireland on 17 February 1988, which Greece won 3–2.
