Between 2000 and 2006, he played for Utrecht in the Netherlands, contributing 29 league goals over that span and helped the team earn five straight UEFA Cup appearances.

In June 2006, Van den Bergh (who is married to an American) was signed by the Kansas City Wizards, for whom he scored three goals in thirteen appearances .

He scored the most important goal in club history in the Western Conference Final leading New York to a 1–0 victory over Real Salt Lake and a berth in the 2008 MLS Cup.

However FC Dallas maintained his rights in MLS and apparently the club made it very difficult for Van den Bergh to move to a new team.

Van der Bergh has coached at various youth levels in the United States Soccer Federation system, including the U-15, U-19 and U-20 Men’s National Teams.
