Career

Born in Viborg,[2] Berger began playing for Overlund GF at age 5 before moving to the Viborg FF academy at U13 level.[3]

On 6 August 2019, Berger made his senior debut in the first round of the Danish Cup in a 2–1 away win after extra-time over Jammerbugt.[4] He made his league debut in the Danish 1st Division – the second tier of Danish football – a few days later on 11 August in a 0–0 draw against HB Køge, coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute for Mikkel Agger.[5] He scored his first goal on 19 July 2020 in a 1–1 draw against Vejle Boldklub.[6]

Being part of the Viborg-team winning promotion to the Danish Superliga in the 2020–21 season,[7] Berger made his debut at the highest level on 18 July 2021 as a starter in a 2–1 away win over Nordsjælland.[8]

He made his European debut on 21 July 2022, coming on as a late substitute in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifier against Sūduva and slotting home to 1–0 winner shortly after.[9]

On August 4, 2023, Viborg confirmed that Berger - in pursuit of more playing time - moved to FC Fredericia on a season-long loan deal. At the same time, he extended his contract with Viborg until the end of 2025.[10]
