Arghus Soares Bordignon (born 19 January 1988 in Alegrete) is a Brazilian football defender who plays for S.C. Braga.

Club career

After a series of short spells with various Brazilian and European clubs, Arghus signed a three year contract with Slovenian club Maribor in 2011. 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 only couple of minutes later.

Personal life

Unlike many Brazilian footballers, who lived and played football on the streets, Arghus had a better life as a child, living in a small and quiet town. His mother was a Portuguese language professor and his father a policeman. He also has a younger brother who is involved in football. Arghus is multilingual, speaking three languages fluently: Portuguese, Spanish and Italian. He is married to a longtime girlfriend and childhood friend, Amanda. Arghus holds a dual citizenship of Brazil and Italy.
