He made his debut for Stormvogels Telstar as a substitute against VVV Venlo in the 2004/2005 Eerste Divisie playoffs, immediately scoring the winning goal. He started his first match against FC Zwolle the next season, on the day before he lost his life in a car accident.

Van den Berg died in September 2005 when he lost control of his car, drove through a roadblock and crashed. A close friend of Nigel de Jong, he was only 21 years old. The club retired his number 22 in his honour.
