Netball
Early years
Borrego, then Carla Williams, was discovered playing netball in regional competitions by the husband of Jamaica international, Elaine Davis. She originally played as a goal keeper, but became a goal shooter when a team she played for had too many defenders. Davis and her husband encouraged Williams to play in a Kingston-based league. She subsequently played for Waulgrovians.[4][5]
Adelaide Thunderbirds
In 2009, after completing her degree at the University of Miami, Borrego signed for Adelaide Thunderbirds in the ANZ Championship.[6] She was a prominent member of the Thunderbirds team that won the 2010 ANZ Championship; in the grand final against Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic, Borrego scored 40 out of 46, including 11 out of 13 in the fourth quarter as Thunderbirds won 52–42.[7] In 2013, Borrego won a second ANZ Championship with Thunderbirds.[8] Borrego continued to play for Thunderbirds until she announced her retirement at the end of the 2016 season, finishing her ANZ Championship career with 2,870 goals.[9]
