Early life

Bergman was born on 25 January 2003. He was raised a North Melbourne supporter, as his father Shannon was drafted by the club in 1989, though he never played a senior game. [1] Bergman played for the Dandenong Stingrays at under 18s level, making a name for himself as an elite decision maker. His U18 season was heavily interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, so Bergman used his time away from football to build elite fitness and running capacity. He was drafted by the North Melbourne Football Club with the 38th selection in the 2021 National Draft. [2]

AFL career

Bergman made his AFL debut for North Melbourne in their 50-point loss to Carlton in Round 7 of the 2022 season. Bergman was a late inclusion to the side, replacing fellow defender Aidan Corr. In the second quarter, Bergman won a clearance out of defense, but was tackled as he kicked the ball, landed hard on his right shoulder, and was subbed out of the game. [3] As a result of this injury, he missed the remainder of the 2022 season.

Following a strong performance on return to North Melbourne's side in Round 1 of 2023, Bergman signed a two-year contract extension to remain at the club until the end of 2025. [4]
