Career

Berry started his career at Crystal Palace in the youth and reserve teams, making his first team debut as a 78th minute substitute in a 3–0 victory over Walsall in the League Cup first round on 23 August 2005.[3] He joined Notts County on one-month loan in September 2005,[4] and later Rushden & Diamonds on 13 January 2006.[5] On 31 January 2006, the last day of the transfer window, Berry signed for Rushden permanently on a contract until June 2007.[6]

In January 2007 he was told he could leave Rushden and was sent out on loan to Conference South team Lewes.[7][8] He scored two goals on his debut and finished the loan with four appearances.[9] He joined Crawley Town until the end of the 2006–07 season in February.[10]

Berry joined Stevenage Borough on 5 December 2007,[11] making his debut after coming off the bench three days later during a home league match against Salisbury City. He was released at the end of the 2007–08 season.

He signed for Gillingham on a month-long contract shortly before the start of the 2008–09 season.[12] He made his debut away to AFC Bournemouth on 9 August 2008, but the contract was not renewed, and he was released after just five appearances.[13] He had a trial at Hereford United in October 2008, before signing for Grays Athletic on 23 January 2009 on non-contract terms.[14] He signed for Conference Premier side York City on non-contract terms on 13 November.[15]

He was released on 28 December after failing to make any appearances.[16] Berry signed for Forest Green Rovers on 31 December.[17] He made his debut for Forest Green in the closing minutes of a 2–1 defeat to Notts County in the third round of the FA Cup in January 2010. He went on to make his league debut later that month in a 4–1 home defeat to Mansfield Town. He was released from his contract at Forest Green in February 2010 after making three appearances. He had a trial with Championship club Sheffield United in March, playing for the reserves in a 2–0 victory over Macclesfield Town.[18] He trialled with Kettering Town in July 2010, playing in a pre-season friendly against Northampton Town.[19]

After a brief spell with Burgess Hill Town, Berry joined Hayes & Yeading United in January 2012.[20] Just two months later however, Berry left Hayes & Yeading.[21] In September 2012, Berry signed for Tooting & Mitcham United.[22] In August 2013, he signed for Farnborough. After making 12 appearances, scoring two goals, Berry left the club in February 2014 and signed for Cray Wanderers.[23]

He began the 2014–15 season with Kingstonian, followed by another short spell with Cray.[24] In July 2015 he joined Walton Casuals,[25][26] Whyteleafe in February 2016[27] and Three Bridges in June 2017.[28] He made his Three Bridges debut on 26 August, in a league game against Eastbourne Borough.[29]
