He was on the Galway panel from 2000 until 2012. He plays his club football with Mountbellew-Moylough.
In recent times, Galway have failed to attain the same heights of their triumphs in the early millennium. They haven’t made it beyond the quarter- final stage, falling to Donegal following replay in 2003 and also to Cork at the end of 2005. Even though Bergin is a vital player in the Galway team however, he has not had the midfield partnership similar to that which he had playing with Sean O Domhnaill and Kevin Walsh in the early stages the career. Injury caused by Bergin have also hampered Galway’s progress in Championship in recent times. In Peter Forde’s the charge, Galway reached 3 Connacht finals, but only won one of them, beating Mayo at the time of 2005. Both in 2006 and 2007 Galway were eliminated from their first qualifying match following two Connacht Final disappointments.

Bergin’s rise from the age of just 17 was phenomenal. He made his debut in the year 2000 with the Galway team that made it to the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final but lost to Kerry following an extra replay.
The following one, Bergin was an assured start, however Galways attempt to make it one better in 2001 ended up failing following an unexpected loss against Roscommon at Tuam. Galway needed to pass through the new qualifying rounds to be in the running of winning All-Ireland glory. The quest for glory picked up speed by winning against Wicklow, Armagh, and Cork. They took revenge on Roscommon in the quarter-finals by a 0-14-1-06 victory. A dramatic late comeback, fueled by Derek Savage, gave Galway the win by three points against Derry during the semifinal. Galway were playing in their third All- Ireland final in four years. Bergin was an important player as they made it towards the semi-final, notching 0-09 on the route. In the final, against Meath who had defeated the reigning champions Kerry in the semi-finalmatch, Galway beat the Meath team and won by 9 points with a score of 0-17 to 0-08. Bergin added two points, making an amends for the disappointment he suffered last year, when he didn’t play during the Replay against Kerry. Bergin finished as Galways second-highest scoring player that year, after Padraic Joyce.
Although Liam Sammon has brought success and a positive outlook to Galway football since his appointment in September 2007, Bergin has seen much of it from the sideline. On 6 April 2008, Bergin suffered an Achilles tendon injury in a League game against Mayo. After he underwent surgery, it was expected he would be out for four months. So far, Bergin has missed the rest of the 2008 National League season and Galway’s 3 games in the Championship, where they went on to win their first Connacht title in 3 years with a 2-12 to 1-14 victory over Mayo. It was reported that he had regained full fitness and could play some part in Galway’s quarter-final clash against Kerry in August. Bergin won a place on the bench for the showdown and was introduced in the second half for Paul Conroy. Not long after his introduction, a long high ball from Pádraic Joyce dropped towards the Kerry goal and Bergin managed to fist it past Declan O’Sullivan to give Galway a two-point lead. However, they could not make their advantage count as Kerry ran out 1-21 to 1-16 winners at the final whistle. Bergin is also a nephew of former Tipperary hurling captains Jack and Liam Bergin, and a cousin to former Meath footballer Paul Shankey In October 2012 Bergin announced his retirement from Inter-County football after 12 years on the panel.
