The promising youngster signed his maiden Owls contract in June 2018 after completing a two-year scholarship at the Championship club. Borukov, previously of PFC Levski Sofia, is a key member of Wednesday's development squad.
Speaking after penning a two-year deal, Borukov said: "I want to lead as an example of what it means to be a professional football player and now I need to follow the first team players and learn from them.

"The staff have helped me a lot. When I was 16, I left my parents, my home and my friends in Bulgaria. So when I came here the people helped me a lot and they’ve made me a better player."
