Born in
Utrecht, Berger came through the
FC Utrecht youth system before making his senior debut in the 1998–99 season. He was loaned to
Cambuur in 2001. After two seasons at
Emmen he moved to
FC Zwolle in 2004. In August 2005 he joined
Eredivisie club
RKC Waalwijk, but a knee injury sustained in pre-season forced him to make his debut a few months later. In summer 2010, Berger decided to quit football, citing a loss of motivation and pleasure. ==Personal life==
