Career

Vandenbergh was born in Bonheiden. He played for K.V.C. Westerlo until 2002, then he went to K.R.C. Genk. He proved to be an exceptional goal-scorer like his father Erwin Vandenbergh, 66 goals in overall 138 appearances in the four seasons he was in Fenix Stadion. After a successful 2006–07 season for his club where Genk came in second place, he joined Dutch Eredivisie side Utrecht. This was due to a falling-out with his manager Hugo Broos. Vandenbergh could not fit in with Broos' plans, eventually his place in the starting XI replaced by Goran Ljubojevic.
