Club career
Bergström made the move to Djurgården from IF Brommapojkarna as a youth player at the age of fifteen as he wanted to be at a bigger club. He had started out as a forward and then moved down to midfield before eventually finding his place in central defence. In 2010, he started getting a lot of playing time with the club's U21 team.[2]
On 15 April 2011, Bergström made his Allsvenskan debut against Malmö FF as a substitute.[3] Midway through the following 2012 Allsvenskan season Bergström had become a regular starter at the central defence position.[4] On 30 June 2013, he scored his first league goal, which was also the historical last ever goal for Djurgården at Stockholms stadion before the club moved to their new home stadium Tele2 Arena.[5]
On 4 February 2016, Bergström signed a contract with FC Rubin Kazan.[6]
On 27 January 2017, he signed a loan contract with Grasshoppers that ran until the end of the 2017–18 season.[7]
On 30 July 2018, he signed with FC Utrecht.[8]
International career
Bergström has represented both the Sweden national under-19 football team and Sweden national under-21 football team.[9][10] In January 2015 he played his first game with the Sweden national football team. The game was however not recognised as an official national team game by FIFA.[11]
Personal life
Bergström grew up a Djurgårdens IF supporter from the age of three when his father started bringing him along to watch home games.[12] He wears a protective mouthguard when he plays after getting his teeth knocked out by a spring rider when he was a child.[13] His favourite number is 13.
