Rudy Johan "Ruud" Berger (born 18 February 1980) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.[1]
Born in Utrecht, Berger came through the FC Utrecht youth system before making his senior debut in the 1998–99 season. He was loaned to Cambuur in 2001.[2] After two seasons at Emmen he moved to FC Zwolle in 2004.[3]
In August 2005 he joined Eredivisie club RKC Waalwijk,[4] but a knee injury sustained in pre-season forced him to make his debut a few months later.[5] In summer 2010, Berger decided to quit football, citing a loss of motivation and pleasure.[6]
His father Han Berger[7] has coached various clubs in the Netherlands.
