Club career

BK Häcken

Born in Stockholm, Berggren started his career in the youth system of IF Väster. He then went on to play in the youth ranks of GAIS and BK Häcken. In January 2015, with Häcken, he signed a contract that officially brought him to the first team. He played his first professional match on 25 February 2015 in a 2–1 Svenska Cupen win over Östers IF.[citation needed] He made his debut in Allsvenskan, on 15 May 2016, in a 4–1 victory over Falkenbergs FF.[citation needed]

After making eight appearances in the 2016 season and 7 appearances in the first part of the 2017 Allsvenskan season, Berggren was loaned out to Varbergs BoIS, a team playing in the Superettan, with which he concluded the year making 15 appearances as a regular starter.[2] He returned to Häcken at the end of the loan spell. On 7 July 2019, Berggren scored his first goal as a professional in a 1–2 league loss to IFK Norrköping.[citation needed]

Raków Częstochowa

On 29 July 2022, Berggren signed a three-year contract with Polish side Raków Częstochowa.[3] He quickly established himself as a regular holding midfielder for the Polish side. On 7 May 2023, Berggren helped Raków win the Ekstraklasa championship for the first time in their history.[4] He also helped the club to the last qualifying round of the Champions League where they faced Copenhagen from Denmark.[citation needed]
