Career

edit

He began his career in Ekets GoIF in his home village of Eket, near Örkelljunga in northern Skåne. Bergholtz was then recruited to Helsingborgs IF for the 2004 season.[1] In 2007, Bergholtz went on a trial at Premier League club West Ham, who were interested in buying him, but when the club did not agree to Helsingborg's demands, the deal ran aground.[2] He made his debut from the start in the Allsvenskan match between Helsingborgs IF and IFK Göteborg on 4 October 2008 and played 13 matches for HIF during the 2008 season.

In January 2020, Bergholtz was recruited by Division 1 club Lindome GIF.[3]
