Biographical Text
As Pedro Borges, he played as a trialist in the Devon Bowl game at Axminster in January 2022 and soon became a trainee/scholar before turning professional in 2023. He later changed his registration name to Pedro Elawar in advance of the 2026/27 after missing the previous season because of injury.
Pedro Elawar Felix Gonçalves Borges, whose father played professionally for Boavista in Portugal, had previously been part of the youth system at Yeovil Town. After his appearance at Axminster he played for the under-18s for the remainder of 2021/22 and was a member of the team which lost to Bideford on penalties in the Devon St Luke’s Bowl final in May 2022. Making rapid progress he made his first team debut as Pedro Borges coming on as a 2nd half substitute against Newport County in the EFL Trophy on 30 August 2022. He subsequently played against Southampton under-21 in the same competition before being loaned to Plymouth Parkway.

In February 2023 Pedro signed his first professional contract with the club. He then went on loan to Tiverton but was recalled after a month so he could make his league debut as a second-half substitute against Bolton Wanderers on Good Friday. He later made his first league start at Ipswich on 29 April 2023. Making five league and cup appearances at the start of 2023/24, Pedro subsequently spent time on loan with Dorchester Town from October 2023 and with Gosport Borough from February 2024. Returning to St James' Park, he made a late substitute appearance against Port Vale in April 2024.
Starting his second full season as a professional, Pedro featured in the opening day win against Rotherham United on 10 August 2024 and had appeared in another three matches prior to being loaned to Yeovil Town in November 2024. Spending two months with the Somerset club, and making eight league appearances, he won a player of the month award ahead of returning to Exeter and undergoing a further temporary move to Weston-super-Mare in January 2025 where he played on a regular basis as the Seagulls narrowly failed to make the National League South play-offs.
Back once more at City, Pedro signed a new two-year contract in May 2025 but, after suffering injury that ultimately required surgery, he failed to make an appearance during the 2025/26 campaign. Fit in time for the 2026/27, and with a new identity as Pedro Elawar, he returned to City's colours in the friendly at Truro City in July 2026 in advance of joining Bath City on loan a month later.
