Club career
Vitesse
In July 2015, van Bergen joined Vitesse on a three–year deal from Eredivisie side Willem II as a fifteen-year old.[1] On 18 December 2015, van Bergen made his professional senior debut in a 5–1 victory over Twente coming on as an 83rd minute substitute for Milot Rashica after impressing in the Vitesse youth sides.[2]
Ahead of the 2016/17 campaign, van Bergen was promoted to the Vitesse first-team along with several other academy team-mates including Arshak Koryan, Thomas Oude Kotte, Zhang Yuning, Jeroen Houwen and Julian Lelieveld.[3] Along with his promotion, van Bergen was re-assigned the number 16 (due to his age), after holding the number 42 last season. On 6 August 2016, the opening day of the season, van Bergen was given his first professional start under new manager Henk Fraser against his former club Willem II, playing 81 minutes before being replaced by debutant Arshak Koryan.[4]
International career
On 9 September 2015, van Bergen made his Netherlands U17s debut in a 2–1 defeat against Israel U17s, in which he replaced Ché Nunnely in the 60th minute.
