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, 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 just several minutes later. On 4 August 2016, he signed for Excelsior on a one-year loan deal. 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. His first goal came on 25 February 2019, in a 1–0 home win against PAS Giannina. Two weeks later, he opened the score in a 5–0 home win against Panionios.
