Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

J. Van den Bergh is a 32-year-old central defender at NAC Breda, rated 21.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 180th of 182 on scout potential in the Eerste Divisie. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (50.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.96 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bergh.

Judged on this season alone, Bergh graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 39 of the 39 centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie, on 1 clean sheet and 3.958 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 15). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 38th of 39 of the 39 centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie. At 32 Bergh is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.5, Bergh carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 39 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
