Club career
Born in Leningrad, USSR, Dimitri Borodin began playing in the junior squad for Lokomotiv St. Petersburg in 1998. After establishing himself, he transferred to FC Zenit St. Petersburg where he was a reserve goalkeeper behind Roman Berezovsky and Vyacheslav Malafeev. In 2002, Borodin transferred to FC Torpedo Moscow and quickly established himself as the first choice goalkeeper (in 2003–04 UEFA Cup series against PFC CSKA Sofia, he saved 3 penalty shots in the deciding shootout, taking Torpedo to the second round). However, by 2007, Borodin became the third reserve goalkeeper behind Ilya Madilov and Maksim Kabanov. After his career with Torpedo, Borodin had a brief stint with FC Sibir Novosibirsk during the spring of 2008 before transferring to FC Anzhi Makhachkala. On 25 February 2009 FC Zenit St. Petersburg signed the goalkeeper, who already played for Zenit in 2001, to a four years contract. In 2009, he was loaned out to FC Khimki and in August, he returned to Zenit.

International career
Dmitri Borodin was called up to the Russian national side on 16 August 2006 for a friendly against Latvia but was on the bench and has yet to make his debut. With the recent return of Igor Akinfeev, consistency of Vyacheslav Malafeev, and the improving performance of Vladimir Gaboulov, it is unlikely that Borodin will get a call to the national side any time soon.
