BIOGRAPHY
Miguel Berry was born on September 16, 1997 in Barcelona, Spain. He is a forward in Major League Soccer.
Berry was born in Barcelona, Spain to American parents. They moved back to the United States when Berry was eight-years old and Berry grew up in Poway, California, attending Poway High School. Berry also played with USSDA academy side San Diego Surf until 2016.
In 2016, Berry went to play college soccer at the University of San Diego. He played with the Toreros for four years, making 72 appearances, scoring 38 goals and tallying 16 assists. In his senior year, Berry was named the WCC Co-Player of the Year and he was a semifinalist for the MAC National Player of the Year award. He'd previously been named WCC All-Freshman Team in his freshman year, was named to the All-WCC First Team and All-Far West Region Second Team in his sophomore year and earned All-WCC First Team and USC All-Far West Region Second Team honors in his junior season.
While at college, Berry also played in the USL League Two for both Seattle Sounders U-23 and Orange County SC U-23.
On January 9, 2020, Berry was selected 7th overall in the 2020 MLS SuperDraft by Columbus Crew. He officially joined the club on February 27, 2020. After having made no appearances for the team during the first half of the season, and with a lack of future opportunities due to the cancellation of the U.S. Open Cup, Berry was loaned to San Diego Loyal of the USL Championship. Though Berry failed to make any appearances in his first season with the Crew, he was part of the squad that won the 2020 MLS Cup. On December 14, 2020, the Crew announced that they had exercised the option to retain Berry for the 2021 season.
On August 28, 2020, Berry was loaned to USL Championship side San Diego Loyal for the remainder of the 2020 season. He made his debut the following day, starting in a 0–0 draw with Orange County SC. Berry played in all seven matches that he was available for the Loyal, scoring three goals. Notably, Berry was a part of the team that both forfeited and walked off the field for matches against Los Angeles Galaxy II and Phoenix Rising respectively, due to unpunished racist and homophobic slurs directed at teammates. These moves were widely applauded, however, they cost the team a spot in the 2020 playoffs.
On May 28, 2021, Berry re-joined the club on loan for the 2021 season. However, he was recalled early in July by Columbus. Berry joined Atlanta FC in 2023.
