Born in Clareen, County Offaly, Bergin first excelled at hurling during his tenure at St. Brendan's Community School in Birr. He arrived on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Offaly minor team, before later lining out with the under-21 side. He made his senior debut in the 2006 National Hurling League. Bergin has been a regular fixture on team since that initial appearance, and has won one National Hurling League (Division 2) medal.
